Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This species is characterized by the double row of cells in the costal area of the forewings. It is fairly widespread in the Northwern Cape and Namibia, but seldom encountered. Nothing is known of its biology. A very welcome record from the Cedarberg.
