Description
Neptis sappho (Pallas, 1771)
—A widespread species in forest ecosystems in the Balkans, yet exceedingly rare in Montenegro, with no published records. Mostly worn males were observed by the author in the vicinity of Bijelo Polje near the border with Serbia on August 18th 2006 (Fig. 6), and several specimens in the Đalovića gorge, also in the vicinity of Bijelo Polje, on June 10th 2017. The status of this species in Montenegro needs further investigation, but it is possibly present in more localities in the north of the country.
