Ovipositing in the interspace between ovary and tepal

The larvae feed on the seeds of Breynia vitis-idaea. The adult is the pollinator of the host plant. Eggs are placed in the interspace between the tepal and ovary, so the ovipositor does not penetrate floral tissue.[2]

It was officially discovered and recorded in 1880.[3]
