Geographical Distribution.—7\ maugei is distinctly and pre-ennin- 
ently a western and retreating species, now restricted to the western coast 
regions of Europe, Africa and adjacent islands of the Palearctic region, 
although it may still linger in a few isolated places comparatively remote 
from the geographical area chiefly occupied at the present day. It has 
been recorded from the British Isles, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, 
Azores, Canaries, and Madeira. 
It has also been reported from greenhouses in Philadelphia, U.S.A., in the 
Nearetic region; as 7. aurigaster from the Cape, in the Ethiopian region ; 
and as 7. vagans trom Auckland, New Zealand, in the Australasian region. 
In the British Isles it 1s also strictly south-western in its range, and has 
been recorded from various localities in the South and West of England, 
South Wales and the South of Ireland.
