Drury, to whom Fabricius was indebted for his knowledge of this species, states 

 that he received it from Sierra Leone. Fabricius, however, gave his usual vague 

 locality, " In Indiis," upon which authority Donovan introduced it into this work. 

 It is, however, a widely distributed African insect, being found in the country of the 

 Hottentots, (Enc. Meth.) and having been received by me from the Cape of Good 

 Hope.
