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.
