Bicyclus aurivillii is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. [2]
M. aurivillii Btlr. is similar to the preceding species [ M. saussurei Dew.], but differs in having the basal part of the wings above blackish, in the forewing having only small white spots in cellules 3 and 4 and only blind,indistinct eye-spots and the hindwing having only a rather large white spot between veins 3 and 6, but no eye-spots; the eye-spots on the under surface almost exactly as in saussurei; the species is larger than saussurei and has the fringes chequered with white and brown, on the hindwing strongly undulate. In the female the hindwing has only one hair-pencil, the pencil in cellule 6 being absent. German East Africa; Ruanda and Ruwenzori. [3]
