A multigene phylogenetic hypothesis is presented for the Nysiades group of Afrotropical Neptis species. The tree shows evolutionary relationships among the 24 currently described species in the group and eight additional new species that are formally described here. The eight new species are assigned to three subgroups within the Nysiades group based on evidence of their evolutionary affinities. Multiple specimens of each of the novel species have been barcoded, K2P pairwise genetic distances among these new species further support their status.

The articles published since the author’s Publications on Afrotropical Papilionoidea during 2021 (Metamorphosis 32: 104–105, which dealt with scientific research into Afrotropical Papilionoidea, including those published in 2021 that were not included, are listed alphabetically by author.

It is shown that Liptena homeyeri straminea Stempffer et al., 1974 is a synonym of Liptena homeyeri Dewitz, 1884, and subspecies Liptena homeyeri bimacula ssp. nov. is described.
