This is possibly P. involvens, but very uncertain. Before this, only one record of the genus from Moz, so a very interesting record indeed. This is the most commonly encountered species of Proctarrelabis, which is widespread in eastern and northern South Africa, from Grahamstown to northern KZN, extending to Gauteng (Pretoria) and into Zimbabwe, with one record from Mozambique (Maputo). The well camouflaged larvae live on branches, where they are “sit and wait” predators. |
