Specimens examined: 16 specimens (16 ♀♀) collected during this study. Mvouni, University of Comoros (434 m aasl, lat. 11°43 11 S, long. 43°16 31 E), 4 ♀♀ on an unknown host plant, 6/XII/2018 ; Ivembeni, Banda Samlini (791 m aasl, lat. 11°29 22 S, long. 43°19 36 E), 10 ♀♀ on Occimum gratissimum L.

S, long. 43°17 37 E), 1 ♀ on O. gratissimum, 10/XII/2018.

Remarks: this species was recorded from several countries of Sub­Saharan Africa, but also from India (Demite et al. 2021), La Réunion (Quilici et al. 2000 ; Kreiter et al. 2020d), Madagascar (Blommers 1976), Mauritius (Kreiter and Abo­Shnaf 2020b), Anjouan (Kreiter et al. 2021a) and Mohéli (Kreiter et al. 2021b). Morphological and morphometric characters and all measurements of our specimens fit well with measurements published in Kreiter et al. (2020d) and with measurements of specimens from Mauritius, Anjouan and Mohéli Island (Kreiter and Abo­Shnaf 2020b, Kreiter et al. 2021a, b).
