Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is probably N. chloranthe, but not sure. N. chloranthe is a 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.
