Mynes woodfordi is a medium-sized butterfly of the family Nymphalidae found in and around the Solomon Islands and Bougainville.[1] It was described by Frederick DuCane Godman and Osbert Salvin in 1888 and named after British naturalist Charles Morris Woodford, later Resident Commissioner of the Solomon Islands.[2][3] The subspecies M. w. shannoni is named after Ray Shannon, who collected the type specimen in Malaita on the Solomons during his military service in 1944.[4]
