This one from Hogsback, East Cape, sitting on a leaf over a small creek.
It is 10 mm.

Prosopocera (Paralphitopola) maculosa.
There is a cicatrice on the scape ? |

Ok I'll look in the sub genus Peritragopsis, maybe it's about Chariesthes (Peritragopsis) ficivora but it's curious ??
It looks a lot like the P maculosa !
He does not even have a tiny scar on the scape ? |

I looked again, and I could not see one, there is a slight indentation apically on the underside, but based on other species with a cicatrix,
I would say no.

| Ok ! your specimen is Chariesthes (Peritragopsis) ficivora Pascoe but look the description for more assurance ..... Very similar to some specimen P sofala with which he is confused....check with the description anyway to be sure |

| After the synonymy Parahyagnis Breuning, 1970 = Peritragopsis Teocchi, 1987, the new of this species is Parahyagnis ficivorus (Pascoe, 1864) |
