It is found in the Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and western Cameroon.

[2] E. themis agrees with the preceding species [ Euphaedra cyparissa ] in the strongly developed black markings on the under surface, but the submarginal spots on the forewing beneath are placed in a quite straight line and the discal spot in cellule 2 is elongate and stands in the middle of the cellule or at least reaches the middle.

The wings have a black ground-colour above and are green, blue, orange-yellow or whitish to beyond the middle of the hindwing and at the hindmargin of the forewing.

The species embraces a large number of aberrations which intergrade without any sharp demarcation, but can usually be distinguished by the characters cited here.

Forewing beneath with distinct light subapical band and above with red spot at the base; the subapical band on the upperside of the forewing is in the male gold-yellow, in the female yellow or whitish, moderately large, of uniform breadth or narrower at the costal margin, and consists of 3 or 4 spots in cellules 3-6.

[now species Euphaedra permixtum] only differs in having the subapical band of the forewing composed of only two spots, in cellules 3 and 4.

[ now species Euphaedra justitia] only differs from the preceding in having the yellow subapical band of the forewing very broad and rounded.

[now species Euphaedra campaspe] The subapical band of the forewing beneath distinct and white, above in the male green, in the female white; the discal spots of the under surface black and distinct; on the upper surface the hindmarginal spot of the forewing and the basal part of the hindwing are dark green in the male, light green to greenish white in the female; the forewing above without red, but beneath red in the basal half of the cell.

The last three forms differ from the rest in the forewing having a uniform green ground-colour beneath, without light subapical band; on the upper surface both the subapical band and the hindmarginal spot of the forewing are uniform dark green, as is also the basal part of the hindwing; the forewing above not red at the base; the black discal spots of the under surface are large and sharply marked and the hindwing in the middle broadly golden yellow or yellowish; the base of the costal margin of the hindwing is violet-red.

[ now species Euphaedra normalis] The discal spots on the underside of the forewing are very large and are placed in a row vertically to the hindmargin, hence nearly parallel with the distal margin; the subapical band on the upper surface is completely separated from the hindmarginal spot.

(44 a) [ now species Euphaedra vetusta] is distinguished from the two preceding by having the discal spots on the forewing beneath placed in an oblique row running towards the hinder angle.
