Bematistes scalivittata is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. [3]
.
P. scalivittata Btlr. (58 d) is very similar to aganice, only differing in the narrow white transverse band of the forewing consisting of two broadly separated parts; one part is placed at the middle of the costal margin and is composed of 5 small spots in cellules 4-6, 10 and 11; the other part only consists of two spots in cellules 2 and 3, placed vertically to the hindmargin and only 2-4mm. from the distal margin; the two divisions of the transverse band are thus about 3 mm. apart at vein 4. Nyassaland. [4]
The habitat consists of montane forests.
The larvae feed on Adenia species, including A. stolzii.
