Bematistes macaria, the black-spot bematistes, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast and Ghana.[1]

Description

Шаблон:Entomology glossary hatnote P. macaria F. (57 ). The spots of the transverse band of the fore wing in cellules 1 b and 2 are deeply incised distally or occasionally quite cleft; the hindwing above at the base as far as the apex of the cell dark brown to blackish, then with a distinct light yellowish (male) or white (female) median band. In the male the upperside of the forewing is nearly black in the basal part as far as the transverse band; hence the dark yellow transverse band, which is about 7 mm. in breadth, is sharply defined basally; it forms in the apex of the cell an irregular spot, which usually encloses a rounded spot of the ground-colour. In the female the white transverse band of the fore wing completely fills up the base of cellule 3 and occasionally also forms 1 or 2 spots in the cell; it may be best distinguished from the female of [related] species by having the white median band of the hindwing very distinct, rectilinear and very sharply defined against the dark basal area. Sierra Leone. [2]
