Remarks
- Systematics: De Lotto (1958) synonymized this species with Antonina indica panica Hall, 1925 and Antonina transvaalensis Brain, 1915; the former was removed from synonymy by (Mohammed et al. 1995: 491) who also provided a redescription and illustration of the species. (Evans & Abd-Rabou, 2023) Yang and Kosztarab (1967) found distinct morphological differences between the first instar nymphs of Antonina transvaalensis and Antonina natalensis to justify their treatment as distinct species.
- Biology: Living on roots of the plants.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by De Lotto (1958a), Almeida (1973b) and by Williams (2001a). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992). Good description and illustration of the first-instar nymph given by Yang & Kosztarab (1967).
