This species, originally founded on a single specimen collected at 
Zanzibar, is rather widely distributed in East Africa, and has 
apparently been described under various different names. Melvill 
and Ponsonby, after comparison of the types, place C. amena in the 
synonymy, and von Martens cannot separate cameroni and kynganica, 
Bgt., from ferruginea ; while Smith (1881) remarks that “ Melania 
zanguebarica of Petit appears to be the same as this species; and 
P. africanus of Martens, if not identical, offers but slight distinctions.”
