Die Art wurde aus Surinam beschrieben. Gernaat et al. (2016) fassen den aktuellen Kenntnisstand zusammen: "The genus Antichloris Hübner, 1818 (Erebidae: Arctiinae: Arctiini: Ctenuchina) has 27 species and is distributed from Mexico to Bolivia and Brazil with one species in Cuba and one in Guadeloupe (Draudt 1917, Schaus 1938, Field 1975, Chalumeau & Delplanque 1978). Two species (A. eriphia (Fabricius, 1777) and A. viridis Druce, 1884) are known pests in banana plantations and have been reported from western countries as an accidental import with bananas (Lempke 1968, Field 1975, Barnett 1986). A. eriphia is distributed from Ecuador and Colombia to Bolivia, Paraguay and SE Brazil (Draudt 1917, Watanabe 2007)." Sie selbst melden einen Raupenfund aus Surinam, also dem Land, aus dem die Art beschrieben wurde.

Kuchlein & de Vos (1999: 229-230) hatten zu den Niederlanden notiert: "[16]: "Asselbergs (1968) recorded a specimen of Antichloris eriphia (Fabricius, 1776) collected in Bergen op Zoom, hidden among bananas. Since that time, several such records of "banana moths" have been made in The Netherlands, all originating from Central and South America (pers. comm., W. Hogenes, Zoological Museum of Amsterdam), and generally from Colombia (Lempke, 1968). Lempke (1969d) wonders why it is that only this species is regularly transported to our country, but the species recorded below, proves that it is not the only one." [die andere Art ist Antichloris viridis]

Barnett (1986: 240) vermerkte dann zum einzigen Falterfund in Großbritannien: "On 6th February 1985 Mrs. F. Gardner of Queniborough, Leicester brought in to the New Walk Museum, Leicester, a living specimen of a black and green moth, similar in shape and appearance to a burnet moth. A bunch of bananas had been purchased by Mrs. Gardner on the 1st February from Leicester Market. The moth had emerged from a yellow fibrous cocoon which was still attached to one of the bananas. [...] Mr. D. J. Carter kindly identified it as Antichloris eriphia Fab. The similar A. viridis Druce is a relatively common import to Britain amongst banana consignments and hence is listed by Bradley and Fletcher, 1979. This is the first known occurrence of A. eriphia in this country. Other specimens in collections may have been mis-identified in the past as A. viridis. This may be checked by reference to the characteristic pointed shape of the hind wing in A. eriphia. A. eriphia has a fairly widespread distribution across tropical South America and other specimens could easily be imported to Britain accidentally." Agassiz et al. (2013: 121) führen die Art bei den "adventive species" und schreiben zu England, Schottland und Irland: "Frequently imported with bananas. South American."

Tóth et al. (2022: 136, 139-140) berichten über ein verschlepptes Einzeltier in Ungarn: "1 ♀: „Hungaria [//] Budapest [//] from a [//] banana-case [//] 17.VII.1986.” [Ronkay László kézírása]".
