Euphaedra fulvofasciata is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Uele and Kivu). ^[3]

Euphedra preussi fulvofasciata, new variety Plate XI, Figure 6, 7

This variety differs from the preceding in having the transverse subapical band on the upper sides of the primaries bright orange in both sexes; the band on the under side is paler, inclining to white, though in a few specimens in the series before me the orange color of the upper side reappears. There is a considerable variety in the shape of this band, especially in the female sex. There are seven females before me, and in none of them is the band absolutely the same in outline, and in some of them it is much broader than in others. The markings on the under side are more or less variable, as in njamnjami [ Euphaedra preussi var. njamnjami Staudinger, 1891] and the other varietal forms which have been mentioned.
