Bebearia Cutteri2
''Bebearia'' is a genus of 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 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).Jacques Hecq, 2000, ''Schmetterlinge der Erde'', Butterflies of the world Part IX (9), Nymphalidae IV -Bebearia.
