Hab. Narau. Izezela (Sweeney). Umkomaas (Burnup). 
Also known from Mauritius and Madagascar. 
Nevill (1884) writes: “I think I may state positively that 
Deshayes’ M. moreleti is the young of the typical form”’ (amarula), 
“ notwithstanding the remarkable ‘ quasi’ adult appearance that it 
invariably presents.” 
It is questionable whether the Natalian examples should be attri- 
buted to amarula or to the following species.
