This pretty little moth has a wide distribution in central and South Africa, India, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, Java, and Queensland. I have seen a specimen from Fiji, but do not know if it has been recorded from there. This is the first record of its occurrence in Guam. Our specimens were all reared from caterpillars on Waltheria americana . The caterpillars were feeding in the terminal bud and webbed together undeveloped leaves.
