Diagnosis. Camaegeria massai differs from its congeners by having a red inner border of the tegula and the red anterior margin of the tergites. A very similar pattern but with orange-brown instead of red is found in Synanthedon flavipectus ( Hampson, 1910 ) . This species differs further by its narrow apical area, somewhat inwards angled discal spot and rough-scaled legs. The genitalia are very similar to those of C. auripicta . The male differs by having a more oval valva and a short, distal tooth on the exophallus, and the female by having a somewhat shorter signum on the corpus bursae.
