Probergrothius sexpunctatus is a species of true bug found in West-Central Africa. The name has been misattributed for many decades to a related species, Probergrothius angolensis, a species that occurs farther to the south, and which feeds on the Welwitschia plant.[1]
P. sexpunctatus, as its name suggests, has six prominent black spots on its wings (3 per wing; 2 anteriorly and 1 posteriorly), distinguishing it from the visually similar P. angolensis where the two anterior wing spots are typically fused, making four wing spots (2 per wing; 1 anteriorly and posteriorly). P. sexpunctatus also typically has a reddish pronotum and legs, which are black (or almost black) in P. angolensis, however this character is less reliable.
