It is monotypic in its genus and endemic to Africa.[2] DistributionIt is found in Eastern and Southern Africa, mainly in Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.[3] Biological control agentIn October 2004, and as part of a biological control project, larvae of this moth from South Africa were released in Queensland, Australia, in order to keep under control the type of acacia Acacia nilotica subsp. indica, a major invasive species in the Mitchell Grass Downs.[4] References1. ^African Moths; Cometaster pyrula, (Hopffer, 1857) 2. ^{{cite web|title=Genus details: Cometaster |url=http://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/butmoth/search/GenusDetails.dsml?NUMBER=6849.0 |website=Lepidoptera genus database |publisher=Natural History Museum |accessdate=11 November 2015}} 3. ^African Moths; Cometaster pyrula, (Hopffer, 1857) 4. ^Rangaswamy Muniappan, Gadi V.
