Euriphene (Euriphene) milnei (Hewitson)
Euryphene milnei Hewitson, 1864 [1852-1876], 3: [47]; pi. [24], figs. 12 and 13 (Old Calabar).
This very distinctive species is represented in Carnegie Museum from Cameroons. Statements that it reaches Liberia to the west all are based on the identification by Buttikofer (1890). It is difficult to imagine that Buttikofer erred in recognizing milnei, but it has not since been found.

Euriphene milnei, the cinnamon nymph, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in eastern Nigeria, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Equateur). The habitat consists of wetter forests.

The larvae feed on Rhaptopetalum species.
