From EPPO PRA: Thakur (1999) and Ahmad & Faisal (2012) cite references mentioning C. femorata Oliver as a pest of poplar in India. The original references were not found. C. femorata is not mentioned
amongst species of Chrysobothris of North India (Barries, 2008) nor amongst pests of poplar found during surveys in Northwestern India (Singh et al., 2004). W. Barries, who has extensively published on Asian Chrysobothris, noted that identification of Chrysobothris species is difficult, and had no knowledge of the presence of C. femorata in Asia (pers. comm.).
