WL: 36mm. C. etheocles is a forest species known to inhabit somewhat degraded forest and some types of dry forest. The nominate subspecies flies from Senegal to Nigeria and is now objectively reported from Guinea-Bissau, although its occurrence in the country was foreseeable (Larsen, 2005); some other subspecies are known along Central Africa to Kenya, west of the Rift valley. The caterpillars are polyphagous and feed on Rhamnaceae , Ulmaceae and mainly on Fabaceae .
