Distribution. Originally most probably Oriental (S. Ryndevich, pers. comm.), this species was introduced during or prior to the 19th century to tropical and subtropical areas all over the world, and occurs rarely in adjacent temperate regions. Previously recorded from Socotra Island by WRANIK (2003).
