Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is a species of Fadrina, possibly F. rufa to judge from the double costal series of veins in the forewing. They resemble the genus Centroclisis, and all are very cryptic, hirsute antlions that rest concealed on bark and twigs. Larvae are freeliving in sand, and often leave characteristic trails.
