According to ADU site this is Myrmeleon alcestris. Will write it up when company leaves.
The rest are still pending ID.

There are two genera of "Bark Antlion":
Centroclisis Bark antlions have a wingspan of 84 mm, stout-bodied, grey, hairy, with broad and short wings.
Syngenes Bark antlions are larger (wingspan 102 mm), hairy and less stout than Centroclisis and have more pointy wingtips. Legs and abdomen are banded. The larvae of Syngenes do not construct pits.

The KTP one can not be
Syngenes due to distribution (S. not recorded anywhere in the west
), must be
Centroclisis! Or another one?
ADU has ID'd "mine" as "
Neuroleon sp.; Myrmeleontidae ; Cannot determine further, probably undescribed."
Can you remove it from the AW entry as
Syngenes sp. please, and I will re-enter in the book as above.

Will write up entry for this one.

Toko, I need to edit some of my entries to either add species name, or delete species name ( such as changing the
Crambomorphus entry to "sp.", as ADU says this is a Kalahari endemic, which is currently being described. Also
Cueta infima to C. sp., as this is an undescribed species)
How best to let you know the changes so you can edit the Index pg., or will you automatically be alerted to the edits?
Thanks!

Or you do the edits in the index if it is only that what is to do, will change poster name and you can edit the index
Toko,I have edited my entries and the corresponding Index Listing.
Can you please edit/remove my pic from: Syngenes sp Bark Antlion viewtopic.php?f=247&t=3223&p=175883#p175883
I will let you know when I write up the three that need new Topic entries so you can add to the Index.
Thanks for all you do!!

Yes, that's the one. Thank you.
As far as additional info., ADU only makes the ID
and adds a very concise sentence or two (undescribed species, etc.), nothing very detailed at all.
Hopefully I can find something more on the 3 I need to write up, but not holding my breath.

Back at Croc I found some interesting bugs.
Some Bees.
I think these are males of
Spatunomia rubra
a red metasoma and without bands of tomentum on the terga. The most remarkable
features of the genus are the simple mandibles in the female and the pedunculate
last antennal segment in the male.
BluTuna, can you please have a look at ABC Taxa Bee Genera of Southern Africa doc, page 43, 13C
for investigsting further
