The colouration on the wings may be a form of mimicry. Austropetaliidae (sensu Carle ad Louton, 1994) also posses splotches on the wings, and until 1994 these taxa were all commonly grouped together. Carle and Louton (1994) and Carle (pers. comm.) have suggested that these splotches are used by Neopetalia to mimic austropetaliids, whose splotches are considered to be warning patterns signifying that they may be distasteful.
