Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is a species of Neuroleon, possibly N. chloranthe, but cannot be sure. If it is chloranthe then it is the fairly common and widespread species, occurring over most of South Africa. Readily attracted to light. The larvae live concealed on dusty rock ledges in small caves and under rock overhangs.
