Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is probably Macronemeurus tinctus, a common and widespread species throughout SA. It also occurs in all of our neighbouring countries and extends as far north as Tanzania and Kenya. The males are very characteristic because of their long ectoprocts – visible in this picture. Nothing is known of its larvae.
