Genus Bebearia: There are 16 species of the genus Bebearia so far recorded from Semuliki. These contribute to over 10% of the species fruit-feeding assemblage total and 75% of Uganda's Bebearia species total (Davenport, 2001). Three species of Bebearia: laetitioides, brunhilda and cocalia are the most common species sampled in the traps, although cocalia is site- specific and depends on the presence of its palm host plant. In contrast mandinga and plistonax were rarely sampled. Bebearia chloeropsis (never sampled and not included in the species checklist of Forbes, 2018) has been recorded as being present in Semuliki (described as being sampled in the Bwamba Valley, now Semliki Valley). It has however been recorded from the Ituri Forest (Ducarme, 2018) and North Kivu region.

The following museum images are taken from The Royal Museum of Central Africa, Tervuren in Belgium and portray the male (left column) and female, both upper and underside, for each of the species recorded at Semuliki (B. chloeropsis excepted).

The Metamorphosis publication 'The Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidia) of Semuliki National Park, western Uganda', Forbes (2018) lists the Bebearia cocalia subspecies as badiana - this should also include the subspecies katera.
