Diagnosis.
Camaegeria xanthopimplaeformis
is the largest species of the genus with an alar expanse of
25 mm
or more (below
20 mm
in the congeners) and can be easily identified by the yellow body. Only the female
holotype
and two other specimens, a female and a male (
Fig. 22
), all housed at the MNHP, are currently known. The genitalia structure of the female, which has no significant specific characters, is figured by
Viette (1982)
and that of the male is unknown.
