Collin, 1944: Psila (Camptopsila) lefebvrei : In this species the male hind femora, while dilated, are not tuberculate at base beneath as in Psilosoma audouini, and the prothoracic episterna in both sexes are not so microscopically pilose, but usually bear a few longer pale hairs. The female ovipositor is more normal, and the sixth tergite is without the tubercle on each side at base of P. audouini.
