Bebearia
''Bebearia'' is a genus of Nymphalidae, brush-footed butterflies. The species are confined to the Afrotropical realm, mainly in the Guinean Forests of West Africa and the Congolian forests. The genus ''Bebearia'' closely resembles the allied genus ''Euphaedra'' in appearance. The females, especially, are very similar on their uppersides. The undersides of ''Bebearia'' however are invariably Crypsis, cryptically patterned and often resemble dead leaves. In ''Euphaedra'' the underside is usually yellow with black spots and pink basal patches. ''Euphaedra'' have orange palpi while those of ''Bebearia'' are brown. In ''Euphaedra'' the forewing apex is always rounded and not falcate (sickle shaped). As in ''Euphaedra'' the upper side of the wing of ''Bebearia'' is usually coloured in metallic blue or green, bright red or orange, or it is dark brownish. Some species are nearly black with blue reflections.The underside of ''Bebearia'' can have a metallic sheen.Jacques Hecq, 2000, ''Schme ...
