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. M&th.) and having been received by me from the Cape of Good Hope.
