Remarks.
The
type
specimens of
Aegeria monogama
and
Macrotarsipus lioscelis
cannot be distinguished based on external characters and have been collected by the same collector from the same collecting locality, Njala,
Sierra Leone
. It still seems possible that
Camaegeria monogama
represents a junior synonym of
C. exochiformis
, which is also native to
Sierra Leone
. This decision is left open due to the deplorable condition of the only known specimen of
C. exochiformis
. The genitalia structures of
C. monogama
have not been dissected.
