Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansel
Comment:   This is probably C. brachygaster, but cannot be sure. Centroclisis species rest on bark of trees where they are very well camouflaged. The genus is widespread in the Afrotropics, but is taxonomically complex because of the large number of synonyms. The robust three-toothed larvae live freely in sand
