Description

The detailed diagnosis made by Hacker (2019) enabled identification of this species.

Distribution

We report this species for the first time in South Africa. This widespread species’ distribution was previously known to range from West Africa to south-eastern Asia, the Pacific Islands and northern Australia. The African subspecies E. a. aethiopica was already known from the Guinean (Nigeria, Guinea, Burkina Faso), Congolian (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Somalian (Ethiopia, Kenya) and Zambezian (Tanzania) biogeographical regions and from Madagascar ( De Prins and De Prins 2022). Hacker (2019) suggested that only Eublemma caffrorum (Wallengern, 1860) occurs in southern Africa. However, genitalia examination of our specimens clearly revealed that both species co-occur in KNP. Both species are barely morphologically distinguishable, which could have explained that E. accedens was overlooked in southern Africa. Thus, our record extended the southern border of the species’ known distribution range in the continent by over 1,000 km (Fig. 2 ). Nevertheless, we suppose it could have been overlooked because it is distinguishable only by genitalia dissection ( Hacker 2019).
