Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   Very similar to Silveira marshalli, but can easily be distinguished by the reddish sheen – hence the name rufus. Nothing is known of its biology, but probably the same as S. marshalli. It is much rarer and more localized than S. marshalli.
