Caenides xychus Mabille 1891

[Caenides xychus (Mabille)]
Proteides xychus Mabille, 1891: 111 (Sierra Leone).
= Caenides kangvensis ab. "feminina" Strand, 1912c: 55 (Cameroon).
Not yet recorded from Liberia, xychus should be expected there since Evans (1937: 159) records it from Sierra Leone and Ghana as well as from Cameroon and Congo. There are specimens from Cameroon and Rio Muni in Carnegie Museum.

Caenides xychus, the unbranded recluse, is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The habitat consists of dense forests.
