Camaegeria monogama

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 <small>Strand, 1914</small>, Camaegeria aristura <small> (Meyrick, 1931)</small> and Camaegeria sophax <small> (Druce, 1899)</small>.

There is the possibility that this species is a junior synonym of Camaegeria exochiformis <small>(Walker, 1856)</small>. This species is also native to Sierra Leone and its holotype is in very bad shape.
