Additions to the Indosian Balcutha fauna were made after, the following two species and one species complex wer newly recorded for Indonesia: B. noonadana, B. rubrinervis, and the B. sternalis complex. Balclutha cheesmanae, whose type localities are Java and Oaoua New Guinea, was recorded from Sulawesi for the first time. Although no Balclutha species had been known from the Krakataus, B. lucida was newly recorded for Anak Krakatau. Since a species similar to B. lucida can migrate long distances, B. lucida may also have migrated to this island. Though three are three islands in the Krakatus, B. lucida was found only on the youngest island. The host grasses of this species were abundant on the Anak Krakatau, the youngest island, but they are not abundanton the other islands. An establishment of this species on Anak Krakatau is related to floral succession and this Balclutha species may face ectinction if floral succession progresses on this island.
