OR:

''Camaegeria monogama'' is a moth of the family Sesiidae. It is known from Sierra Leone. This species is black and the tip of the abdomen has red-orange scales. It is similar to '' Camaegeria auripicta'' Strand, 1914, '' Camaegeria aristura'' (Meyrick, 1931) and '' Camaegeria sophax'' (Druce, 1899). There is the possibility that this species is a junior synonym of '' Camaegeria exochiformis'' (Walker, 1856). This species is also native to Sierra Leone and its holotype is in very bad shape.Bartsch D. & Berg J., 2012.
