Several notable discoveries have been made already, including the finding of a new colony of the Cloud Copper (Aloeides nubilus), and a significant extension to the range of the Stoffberg Widow (Dingana fraterna) locality at Dindela; refer to Mpumalanga under “Regional Roundup”. In KwaZulu Natal, new locality records have been obtained for the Estcourt Blue (Lepidochrysops pephredo) and Dingaan’s Widow (Dingana dingana).
