Comment:   Reinier Terblanche comments: "What a record! This is closest to Caprona cassualalla (this only being recorded from northern Namibia while Spitzkoppe is much further south). This must be one of the very few records for Caprona cassualalla. The white fascia of hindwing goes through and with white lining also going through to anal angle (bottom margin of hindwing). Otherwise it is a new subspecies. It must be the only record for Caprona in that part of Namibia! Very important record and should be investigated further."
