Craspedoxantha genus has been distributed in worldwide as 7 species in Afrotropical and 2 species in Oriental Regions. It is generally known that C. marginalis is preferred Asteraceae including Vernonia spp. for host plant. However, C. marginalis was first found in cut-flower of Phaenocoma prolifera, which was imported from South Africa, under the plant quarantine inspection in Korea. Therefore, we first report that P. prolifera as a new host plant for C. marginalis and provide information of the morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding sequences on male and female for identification.
