Some of the Eutricha pillars are a bit tricky to tell apart especially:
E. capensis
E. bifascia
E. obscura
Distribution helps:
-
E. capensis & E. bifascia occur along the southwestern Cape coast from Paternoster down to the peninsula and east to Gqeberha.
-
E. obscura occurs eastwards from around Kenton-on-Sea up the KZN coast, then inland to PMB, Pretoria and Kruger NP.
I am working on a map, but in so doing am finding several incorrect IDs. Once the map is cleaner I'll put it here.

E. capensis has western and eastern forms - the former can be confused with E. bifascia and the latter with E. obscura.
Thank you very much to the photographers for their wonderful photos!
