Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is an undescribed species of Isonemurus, known only from Namibia and the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. This is the most westerly record known so far. It is characterized by the reddish colour, the very long labial palps – characteristic of all Isonemurus species, and the banded abdomen. Another interesting record from the Luderitz peninsula. Larvae unknown.
