This species is probably an introduction from Australia to St. 
Helena and Haiti. St. Helena was an important station for slave 
ships as well as ships coming from Australia. C. signatura was pos- 
sibly introduced to St. Helena with Australian plants (there are 
many introduced Australian plants in St. Helena) . C. aliena is 
possibly a secondary introduction by slave ships from St. Helena to 
Haiti (Princis, 1970).
