Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   James Adriaan Harrison
Comment:   Clearly a caco, but locality outside of range of C. parvum. Tympanum not visible. Spots on belly but not throat, therefore not C. nanum.

Species name:   Cacosternum boettgeri -- Common Caco
Species code:   400
Comment number:   2
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   The dark marking are concentrated anteriorly, suggesting either C. nanum or C. parvum. The smooth skin and general colouration suggest C. parvum. There appears to be an isolated population arounf Umthatha (fide du Preez & Carruthers 2009)
