This species is fairly widespread in the drier regions of SA. Known from the Eastern, Northern and Western Cape provinces, Limpopo and Free State. Also from Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. It readily comes to light. Nothing is known about its larvae, although Cymothales larvae are generally found living in tree holes or rock ledges – this species may do the same. |
