I just couldn't believe my eyes... I've found like the rarest insect in SA! Unfortunately it was dead... They are endemic to a small piece of the Namaqualand. |

Palmipenna aeoleoptera
Handre Basson
This species has a very limited distribution owing to the specific habitat requirements. The record provides an important new locality for the taxon. Palmienna species - currently 4 described - are essentially Namaqualand endemics with one species extending into Namibia. the larvae are suspected to be ant-associated |
