Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   Common and widespread in southern Africa and easily be confused with other Cueta species. The pit-building larvae occur in hard soil in completely exposed situations. All Cueta larvae are pinkish in colour, and are impossible to distinguish from one another.
