Key to the species groups of the Afrotropical Cameraria based on male genitalia*

1. Tegumen with very small (visible at 150× enlargement), asymmetrically protruded tuba analis, transtilla H-shaped with long proximal appendages (Fig. 167).............................................................. torridella group
