Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This looks like a species of Nemoleon, possibly N. callidus, but cannot be sure. There are several species in SA, but the genus is still poorly known. The genus is very widespread, including the Palaearctic, but most of the SA species are endemic. Larvae of the local species are unknown.
