Iolaus (Epamera) moyambina Stempffer and Bennett, 1959: 254; figs. 139-143.
Females in this genus are notoriously difficult to identify, particularly single specimens. In this instance, however, the identification is fairly certain: the subquadrate apical patch on the hindwing above, the thick, sharply delimited brown border on the forewing below, the greenish tone to the blue above, all point to this species, hitherto known only from Sierra Leone.
