Cerocala insana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1858) unknown Not stated. [Africa N], The locality "Von Cap" is an error (see G. F. Hampson 1913d: 270–271).
Distribution note:

The record of South Africa (Herrich-Schaffer 1858: 68) is erroneous (see G. F. Hampson 1913d: 271; the record of Saudi Arabia (Wiltshire 1994: 124) refers to Cerocala sana Staudinger, 1901 (see H. Hacker 2016: 374). All specimens in TMSA (Nambia, South Africa, Zimbabwe) are misidentified. Distributed in North Africa only.
