Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   James Adriaan Harrison
Comment:   This specimen does not have reddish ears and is therefore probably not the Mesic species, despite the relatively moist locality. Also, confirmed records of R. dilectus and R. intermedius do not include the south coast (Du Toit et al. 2016).
