Byblia acheloia crameri Aurivillius
Byblia ilithyia var. crameri Aurivillius, 1894: 279 (Cameroons).
This subspecies occurs throughout the Guinean Subregion from Sierra Leone to Uganda and is rather common everywhere in its range. Buttikofer (1890) cites only ilithya, but subsequent investigators have found only crameri in Liberia. It seems likely that the Buttikofer record, which was repeated by Sharpe (1906), was based on a misidentification. B. ilithya is a savanna species and does not enter the belt of heavy rainfall in Africa.
