Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This small brown lacewing is very widespread, but rarely encountered, with few specimens in collections. It has been recorded from DRC, Ghana, South Africa and Zimbabwe. This is a first for Swaziland. Nothing is known about its larval stages or biology, but the larvae are probably free-living on vegetation.
