This species is endemic to Oʻahu where it was last collected in 1971, it was rediscovered in February 2014.
Notes on native and alien Hymenoptera and Diptera (Insecta) from the Hawaiian Islands
Here I report new island records of alien species, as well as four notable rediscoveries of endemic picture wing Drosophila that have not been seen in over 40 years. Unless otherwise noted, specimens listed below were collected by KNM and deposited at the Bishop Museum (BPBM) and University of Hawai‘i–Mānoa Insect Museum (UHIM) as noted. Drosophila vouchers are temporarily stored at the OaNrP collection and will ultimately be deposited at UHIM.
