Euphaedra intermedia is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (northern Kivu, Uele). [3]

It was described as a form of Euphaedra sarita ."The very large females, which agree with the male in the drawing of the underside, usually have a white, more rarely blue darkened subapical band on the upper side. This form, which cannot be combined either with sarita or with inanum , may bear the name Intermedia (n. f.). Rebel loc.cit. It was raised to species level by Hecq [4]
