Saussure’s genus Diploptera has one year of priority over 
Brunner’s Eleutheroda, under which generic name this species is 
generally recorded in the literature of Hawaii. 
The species is common and injurious in the Territory, infesting 
particularly the Monterey Cypress trees (Cupressus macrocarpa 
Hartweg) and doing particular damage by gnawing away the bark. 
Like a number of other species, it is apparently adventive from the 
islands to the south.
