Bebearia maximiana, the maximal forester, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The habitat consists of forests.
Seitz- E. maximiana Stgr. is a very similar [to] Bebearia flaminia, but somewhat larger species, of which a few specimens were captured by Dr. Preuss at the Barombi Station in the Cameroons and which is very little known as yet.
The larvae feed on an unidentified dicotyledonous tree.
