in eight additional countries. The new distribution records for Kenya, Madagascar, Republic of the Congo, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen are based on examined specimens from the CAS, CNC, ICIPE and RMNH collections. Additionally, three other countries (Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia) are recorded based on BOLD records whose sequences match sequences of the species, although those specimens were not available to us for study. The new data expands the species distribution across mainland Africa (where it was already known from a few countries), to Madagascar and the Arabian Peninsula (where it had not been recorded before). Based on the specimens we examined, the species has been collected throughout the entire year.
