This is an agricultural and horticultural pest species, widely distributed on both coasts in New Caledonia, where it has spread via roadways into valleys in the Central Range. There are still nomenclatural issues with this taxon (Li 1993). Host plants are Solanaceae, including cultivated, weedy and wild species. This phytophagous ladybug has been recorded from Australia, Papua New Guinea (including New Britain and New Ireland), Solomon Islands, Fiji Islands, Samoa, Philippines and Vietnam.
