By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   Podallea species are fairly common in the north western parts of South Africa. They are difficult to identify without dissection. It is suspected that larvae of Podallea are inquilines in wood-eating termite nests. It is a gebus in the family Berothidae - the "beaded lacewings"
