Distribution

Excoecaria algallocha ("milky mangrove") is the sole food plant of Calliphara nobilis larvae.

Calliphara nobilis lives in mangroves in Asia, from China and Burma, through Malaysia and the Philippines to Borneo. The easternmost limit of its distribution runs through Halmahera, Sulawesi and Flores.[1]
