Host plant.
Oleaceae : Ligustrum micranthum Zucc. , L. ovalifolium Hassk. Ligustrum japonicum Thunb. , Osmanthus heterophyllus (G. Don) , O. insularis Koidz. , O. × fortunei Carr. are also recorded as adult hosts ( Kimoto and Takizawa 1993). In Ogasawara Islands, this is the only leaf-mining chrysomelid species.
Leaf mine.
Full-depth linear mine on young leaf (Fig. 9 B View Figure 9 ). The egg is laid on leaf margin, and the hatched larva mines adjoining along the leaf margin or its mine. Frass is thread-like, deposited along the middle line of the mine. The fully grown larva exits the mined leaf, falls to the ground, and pupates underground.
Material examined.
• 3 adults, Rinkai , Shirahama, Nishimuro-gun, Wakayama Pref., 13-V-1998 (as larva on Ligustrum ovalifolium ), emerged on 2-VI-1998 (Fig. 9 A, B View Figure 9 ) ; • 1 adult, Mukô-jima Is. Ogasawara, Tokyo Pref. on Ligustrum micranthum .
