Bebearia fulgurata is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Mongala, Uele, north Kivu, Tshopo, Kinshasa and Lomami). [2]

Female.The wings are brown above in the basal half and at the distal margin, but between the second band and the sharply angled submarginal line have for the most part a whitish ground-colour, in which are placed the free blackish spots of the third and fourth transverse rows; the under surface is brownish at the base and whitish grey in the distal part; somewhat before the middle a row of whitish, dark-edged spots runs from the hindmargin of the forewing, straight as far as vein 4 and then bent round towards the middle of the costal margin. Lingunda, Congo [3]
