For the full synonymy of this remarkable cosmopolitan insect, re- 

 ference may be made to Stal (E. H. ii, p. 41) or Distant (1. c.)- It 

 is found throughout North and Central America, and as far south as 

 Cayenne, in all Europe, all Africa including the adjacent islands, Corea, 

 Japan, China, India, the islands of the E. Archipelago, Australia, and 

 New Zealand. The Indian Museum possesses specimens from almost 

 all parts of India.
