Unknown Uganda Acraeid

[Trehopr1]

Acraeini are a tribe of butterflies which are quite
plentiful on the continent of Africa. This species is
out of Uganda and I was hoping someone of regional
Africa expertice could possibly place a name for it.
It is asking a bit as I know how numerous and varied
this tribe is.

Appreciate any help...

Looks like Pseudacraea eurytus?

Dang, that looks to be it !!

Man, I wasn't sure if I'd ever hear about this one. There are so many of these dang things around Africa and after (a while) they all start to look the same....

I really appreciate your detective (sleuthing) abilities at getting identifications for things I just can't seem to find.
Very much appreciated.

In my experience, this is the most common form of P. eurytus (mimicking the Bematistes epaea complex).

Other forms (each mimicking a different Bematistes species) include:

Wow, some pretty incredible variation there Cabintom.

Thank you so much for showing us some of the additional possibilities within this species. You have had a measure of good fortune landing so many different ones !

Well, they're fairly common where found... and somewhat frustrating. They're such good mimics (flight patterns and everything) that it's often the case I think I've got a "new-to-me" Bematistes in the net, only to find it's another P. eurytus!

Pseudacraea's are placed within Limenitidinae by the way.
