First found in Oahu in the mid 1980s (widespread by 1989). Also in Honolulu.

Austin KA, Rubinoff D (2023): the record of P. stultana from Kauaʻi in Austin & Rubinoff (2022) was based on a misidentification of P. rostrana. Platynota stultana is not yet known to occur on Kaua‘i. The other new island records of P. stultana in Austin & Rubinoff (2022) are correct.
