Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This large and beautiful antlion occurs throughout most of Africa, but is absent from southern Africa, the most southerly records being from Zambia. It is apparently fairly common where it occurs, but despite this, very little is known of its biology. Larvae are unknown.
