1. "Euriphene" is Bebearia carshena (Hewitson, 1871), male.

2. seems to be Hypolimnas dinarcha ssp. or form.

3. Precis milonia Feld. & Feld, 1867, male.

Lycaenidae 1 : Thermoniphas alberici (Dufrane, 1945), male.

these are Mimacraea (krausei 2 m, 1 f) in Lycaenidae family not Acrea
lycaenidae 2 seems more a Lepidochrysops (a common species of NE Congo and Uganda, probably wrongly named in books)

Yes ! I looked to quickly !

Mimacraea krausei Dewitz, 1889, males and female.

Thank you so much for having corrected the error !

Thanks to both of you!

Is there a key feature I'm over looking regarding the identification of Bebearia and Euriphene species? If I could narrow that down better, I could probably ID more of them myself...
