Generic review by Hecq, 1994 (Revue d’Entomologie Générale. Bruxelles.).

Diagnostic characters to distinguish from Euryphura given by Hecq, 1996 (Lambillionea 96 (1) (Tome I): 147 (147-148).).

An Afrotropical genus containing 74 species. Generic revision by Hecq, 1994 and Hecq, 2002b. Hecq (1994) placed all the species in two sub-genera (Euriphenaria and Doricleana). As pointed out by Larsen (2005a) this is not permissible since any sub-genera must include at least the genus itself. Euriphenaria Hecq, 1994 is therefore a junior synonym of Euriphene Boisduval, 1847. The genus occurs in the main forest zone of Africa but does not reach the coastal forests in the east(Larsen et al., 2009). All species inhabit the forest floor, rarely flying higher than half a metre above the ground. Only E. gambiae Feisthamel is found in savanna woodland (Larsen et al., 2009). The presence of a number of species in a single forest is an indication that the forest is in relatively pristine condition (Larsen et al., 2009). Knowledge in regard to the early stages is reviewed by Amiet (1999).

Type locality: Nigeria: “Lagos State, 5 km before Epe (6°28'25"N 3°47'20"E), 10 m, 28.xi.1999 (T.Pyrcz leg., coll. MZUJ).” Holotype in the Muzeum Zoologiczne Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, Kraków, Poland. Distribution: Nigeria (west). General: Euriphene epe has been recorded, on numerous occasions, from western Nigeria as Euriphene tadema (Larsen et al., 2009). Pyrcz, who compared specimens of tadema (sensu lato) from both eastern and western Nigeria that he collected between 2000 and 2002, realized that the western populations belonged to an undescribed species. Specific localities: Nigeria – Epe, Lagos State (TL); Isheri, Lagos State (D. Knoop, vide Larsen et al., 2009); Ajebandele, Ondo State [6°43'44"N 4°21'30"E] (T.

Habitat: Forest with a closed canopy, including secondary forest(Larsen et al., 2009). The small forest at the type locality no longer exists as it was clear-felled (Larsen et al., 2009). Habits: Occurs in localized colonies but is not rare where found (Larsen et al., 2009). Females appear to remain in the darker parts of the forest and are therefore less commonly seen than males(Larsen et al., 2009). Early stages: Nothing published. Larval food: Nothing published.

ABRI).” Distribution: Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast. General remarks: A rare species, first collected in 2001, when it was identified as a new species by H. Warren-Gash and T.B. Larsen. Further specimens, procured by Szabolcs Safian, confirmed that it was new and enabled a description of the species in 2009. Habitat: Forest (Larsen et al., 2009).
