Neptis nicomedes has a wingspan reaching about 40 millimetres (1.6 in). The uppersides of the wings are dark brown. Both wings are crossed in the middle by a broad band of white, followed by a band of indistinct grey spots and by three sub-marginal linear bands of white. The underside is similar to the upperside, but colours are paler.
This species can be found in tropical western Africa, mainly in Sierra Leone, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and western Kenya.
