Neptis nemetes Hewitson
Neptis nemetes Hewitson, 1868 [1852-1876], 4: [45]; pi. [25], figs. 1 and 2 (Sierra Leone).
The nominate subspecies is distributed from Sierra Leone through the Congo Valley, with other subspecies in East Africa. I found it to be quite common at the weedy margins of cassava fields and to be present throughout the year.
