WL: 36mm. A. rogersi is a forest butterfly, sporadically occurring in open areas. It is now reported as a new species for Guinea-Bissau. This constitutes its northern geographical limit of distribution, as its previous known range extended from Sierra Leone to Nigeria and southwards to Angola. Subspecies A. r. lankesteri, from Uganda and western Kenya, is currently recognized as a junior synonym of A. rogersi ( Pierre & Bernaud, 2013, 2014). The known host-plants are Adenia lobata (Passifloraceae) and Theobroma cacao (Malvaceae) .
