Remarks.
The
holotype
of
Aegeria exochiformis
is a badly damaged and nearly completely de-scaled female and not a male as mentioned in the original description. It is here transferred to
Camaegeria
based on the typical shape of body and wings, the smooth-scaled labial palp and the frons with white adjacent to the eye. Another taxon from
Sierra Leone
,
C. monogama
, might be conspecific with
C. exochiformis
(see above).
