New insect species have been discovered in the Richtersveld National Park in the Northern Cape.
International entomologists, Dr Massimo Meregalli from Italy and Dr Roman Borovec from the Czech Republic, have discovered several new species of flightless weevils in remote areas, including the Armmanshoek Valley.
One of the newly identified species has been named Richtersveldiella sanparkensis, in recognition of SANParks role in supporting research in the park.
