This species is known by rare specimens from West Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin and Nigeria), Cameroon, Gabon, CAR, Uganda and Tanzania (Larsen, 2005). The caterpillars feed on Arecaceae, frequent in the area of Cantanhez, where most of the production of palm-oil ( Elaeis guineensis) in the country is carried out.
