Comprehensive Description

[Abantis leucogaster (Mabille)]
Sapaea leucogaster Mabille, 1890a: 32 (Sierra Leone).
This species may be expected in Liberia since Evans (1937: 53) records it from Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Cameroon. There are no specimens of this apparently rare skipper in Carnegie Museum.
