Remarks. The species is widespread throughout central, southwestern and southern Africa ( Gomes Alves 1973; Beinhundner 2017a; Schoolmeesters 2018). Curiously, despite the records to Angola (see “Historic records”) the species is not referred for this country in the Ferreira’s catalogue (1965) and Beinhundner’s monograph (2017a). Considering both the old and recent records, it seems a common species with a wide distribution in the central and southern provinces of Angola. The larvae instars were described by Donaldson (1987) and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new record for the Huambo and Uíge Provinces.
