}}Euphaedra eupalus, the western blue-banded forester, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo.[2] The habitat consists of wet forests. Adults are attracted to fallen fruit. DescriptionUpperside: antennae black, lighter at the tips. Head black. Thorax and abdomen dark brown. Anterior wings dark red brown, tipped with white; but next to the shoulders of a purplish hue, with a dark yellow streak near the tips, extending obliquely from the anterior towards the external edge. Posterior wings also red brown; but towards the middle and shoulders of a purplish blue, which they reflect more or less according to the position they are held in. Under side: palpi and breast yellow. Anterior wings olive brown, tipped with white; but along the external edges of a hazel colour, and near the shoulders having three round black spots on each. Posterior wings similar to the anterior, being of a brown olive, variegated, and clouded, with three small spots placed near the shoulders, as in the superior ones. All the wings are a little dentated (tooth like). Wingspan a little over {{frac|3|1|2}} inches (90 mm).[3] References{{Commons}}{{Wikispecies}}1. ^"Euphaedra Hübner, [1819]"] at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms {{Taxonbar|from=Q5410100}}{{Limenitidinae-stub}}2. ^Afrotropical Butterflies: Nymphalidae - Tribe Adoliadini 3. ^{{cite book |last1=Drury |first1=Dru |year=1837 |editor1-last=Westwood |editor1-first=John |title=Illustrations of Exotic Entomology |volume=2|at=[https://archive.org/stream/illustrationsofe11drur#page/n191/mode/2up p. 29.] [https://archive.org/stream/illustrationsofe12drur#page/n137/mode/2up pl.
