Neferkare

A king called Neferkare ("beautiful is the Ka of Re") is listed in both the Saqqara and Turin king lists between Senedji and Neferkasoker , and he may be Manetho´s Nepherkheres who reigned for 25 years. He may have been omitted from the Abydos kings list because he only ruled over Lower (northern) Egypt. However, the elements of his name are so common that it is also possible that a mistake was made by the scribes composing the kings lists. Unfortunately, there are no archaeological remains to confirm his rule
