Distribution: Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Tanzania. Common name: Neave’s sapphire. Habitat: Forest (Larsen, 2005a). Habits: This is a generally scarce species (Larsen, 2005a). Males show hilltopping behaviours in the afternoon. Unusually for a species of Iolaus, specimens are also encountered flying low down, settling on vegetation on the edges of forest paths. This behaviour is shared with I. pollux (Congdon and Collins, 1998) and I. cytaeis (Larsen, 2005a). Early stages: Congdon and Collins, 1998: 93. Larval food: Agelanthus krausei (Engl.)
