Charaxes fuscus

Charaxes x fuscus is a naturally occurring hybrid between two sympatric species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It was found in the Central African Republic. The habitat consists of lowland evergreen forests.

Described from a single male collected from Bangui by Plantrou, it is now proven to be the only known example of a naturally occurring hybrid (Charaxes numenes x probably Charaxes cynthia)
