Neptis sextilla is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family.[2]
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.
