Taxonomic revision of Camerunia Aurivillius, 1893 and allied genera (Lepidoptera: Eupterotidae: Janinae)

The distinctive monkey moth genus Camerunia Aurivillius, 1893 is revised, resulting in the implementation of several taxonomic and nomenclatural changes. Two genera historically considered to be allied to Camerunia, Hemijana Aurivillius, 1901 syn. nov. and Catajana Strand, 1910 syn. nov. are synonymised with it and as a result, the genus now contains six species: C. orphne (Schaus, 1893), C. flava Aurivillius, 1904, C. albida Aurivillius, 1901, C. subrosea (Aurivillius, 1893) comb. nov., C. bimaculata (Dewitz, 1879) comb. rev. and a new species, C. smithi sp. nov. described from Tanzania. To preserve the stability of nomenclature, lectotypes are designated for Camerunia insignis Aurivillius, 1893, Camerunia flava Aurivillius, 1904, Jana subrosea Aurivillius, 1893 and Hemijana ruberrima Rothschild, 1917. Examination of the unlabelled type of Hemijana griseola Rothschild, 1917 syn. nov. has confirmed that it is conspecific with Poloma nigromaculata (Aurivillius, 1893) and it is synonymised accordingly.
