Colotis amata (Fabricius, 1775) is associated with desert habitats in the Afrotropical and Oriental biogeographic region. There is little information available on the Papilionoidea that live in the Saharan regions, as evidenced by the fact that this species was recently discovered in southern Algeria close to Timiaouine. The expansion of the distribution area towards the North may be explained by the presence of its host plant in this area and in the pattern of distribution of some species.
