Pamexis Karoo
Endemic to the Western Cape.
Nothing is known about its larval stage.
Myrmeleontidae, Palparinae, Palparini. It is most probably not Palpares caffer and most probably not even a Palpares sp.. My updated guess is now Pamexis sp. and might be Pamexis karoo?

What do you think, Fanie?
Myrmeleontidae, Antlion. Probably a Palpares sp., I have problems with my MacBook, so, please, verify yourself. Might be Palpares caffer, but iSpot is down due to technical issues.

Obviously variable... Markings do not match exactly for some of the ones ID as P. caffer.
