Originally described by Smith from the Philippine Islands, this 
species occurs also in Burma and Sikkim. It is a somewhat 
variable insect, and Smith’s description is insufficient. I have, 
however, examined the type in the British Museum, with which 
the Burmese specimens agree exactly; the Ceylon and Sikkim 
specimens are darker, and the former has a dull yellow spot on 
each side, at the base of the 2nd abdominal segment. In Sikkim 
specimens these two spots coalesce above and form an obscure band 
at the base of the segment.

Only one specimen in Mr. Green’s collection, which is not 
quite typical, as it wants the fulvous fasciz on the underside of 
the abdomen. Originally described from Natal, it is a widest 
species, occurring throughout India.
