Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
Camaegeria polytelis
and
C. xanthomos
, but easy to distinguish by the dorsally completely red abdomen (abdomen dorsally black, with tergites 1–2 and 4–5 red in
C. polytelis
and only 4–5 red in
C. xanthomos
). Further,
C. sylvestralis
has a ventrally black labial palp (yellow in the species compared), black hindtarsus with smooth-scaled first tarsomere (red and rough-scaled in the species compared), and the narrowest wing margins and discal spots of all congeners.
C. sylvestralis
is only known from a single male, its genitalia have not been dissected.
