It is found in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The habitat consists of forests.

(41 d) differs [from other Bebearia] beneath in both sexes in the yellow-grey or whitish grey basal half of both wings, which is chequered with large, angular black-grey spots; the dark spots are placed chiefly in the basal part of cellules 1—6.
