Nothing is known of the biology of Pennisetia eusphyra, but considering the similarities with Oligophlebia igniflua, it seems likely that the species will ultimately be found on one or more of the numerous species of Elaeocarpus found throughout the rainforest areas from northern New South Wales north along the coast of Queensland.
