Hallelesis halyma, the western hallelesis, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast and western Ghana.[2] The habitat consists of swampy areas inside forests of good quality.
The male androconial organs consist of a pair of large eversible hair-tufts that are attached to the genitalia, within the abdomen. The smell given off by these organs is powerful and pleasant to the human nose.
