 occurs in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Australia. It was first 

 introduced as British by Mr. Edleston, who in the 'The Zoologist' for 

 1843 (p. 260) recorded a specimen taken at Salford, by Mr. John 

 Thomas, in September, 1840. This capture is referred to in the list 

 of " New British Species since 1835," published in the ' Entomologist's
