A very common species in the vicinity of Nelson. In April, 

 1913, two females were bred from pentatomid eggs. In the 

 same month I saw 300 specimens clustered together on one 

 leaf; on two adjacent leaves were clusters of 100 each. I have 

 also specimens taken by Mr. A. A. Girault at Townsville and 

 Thursday Island, Torres Strait.
