127. Charaxes fulvescens senegala van Someren, 1975 WL: 46mm. C. fulvescens senegala is common in Guinea-Bissau and JB found it to be the most common Charaxes in forest. This is consistent with observations by Condamin (mss) in the Basse Casamance ( Senegal). This subspecies ranges from Senegal to Nigeria, and four other subspecies occur throughout Africa. The hostplants are Allophylus africanus and other Sapindaceae of that genus.
