Bebearia cinaethon is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [2]
E. cinaethon Hew. (40 e). In the male the wings are lighter brown above with distinct submarginal line; the yellow transverse band of the forewing is very broad, the spots before the apex small and yellow; the apical part outside the transverse band is blackish; the markings of the under surface recall those of comus , but are a mixture of brown and grey without the bright violet colour of that species. The female is similar to the male above, but much darker, black-brown, and with somewhat narrower transverse band on the forewing; the under surface agrees almost entirely with that of ikelemba (41 e). In both sexes the dark submarginal line of the forewing is at least in cellules 1 a—3 almost straight, neither undulate not angled, only very weakly dentate. Gaboon and French Congo. [3]
