D i a g n o s i s. This species can be easily recognized among other Campylocera species from the 4–5 pairs of very long and strong setae on prementum (fig. 1, 3; 2, 2, arrow), fore and hind femora with long preapical setae dorsally (fig. 2, 6, 8), double lateral surstylus (fig. 3, 1), oviscape wide, dorsally straight, without spinulose humps or other modifications (fig. 2, 10), and aculeus with wide basal shoulders (fig. 3, 8). Mesonotum with conspicuous presutural supra-alar setae; scutellum moderately long setulose, often with 1 or 2 additional setae on each side.

R e m a r k s. The abdomen of the only extant syntype of Campylocera ferruginea is missing (fig. 1, 1), but as the extremely long premental setae are known in the only one African species, its identity is clear.
