Taxonomy
The type location is Madagascar, but this is possibly a false locality. The type is possibly lost and the description suggests that although it may well have been recorded from Madagascar, it is either an aberration or a hybrid between Neptis kikideli and Neptis saclava. It may also be a re-description of one of the agatha species group species from the African mainland.

gollark: Like I said, a web-based notetaking thing.
gollark: I could do the frontend with Rust compiled to WASM.
gollark: That was the JS version, this new rewrite is in Rust and therefore 10000x better.
gollark: A shiny new version of `minoteaur`, the web notes thing I demoed a while ago.
