Comment:   Very interesting specimen. Closest id I can get is D. hamata. If it is this (will investigate specimens in NCI) it would be only the fifth known record. Previously known from three forest patches in Zululand (Ngome, Dlinza, Nkhandla)and Sabie. Nothing is known of its biology. Valuable record.
