Comment number:   1

Comment:   A very interesting species. it is currently undescribed. Other specimens known from the Karoo, so a very nice range extension record. Centroclisis species are typically hirsute, grey antlions and very cryptic when resting on bark. There are two reddish species known, this being one of them. Nothing is known of the biology of this species.
