Arhopala ariana ariana
Evans 1925 - Pinkish-washed Oakblue
The English name for this species is somewhat misleading, any pinkish wash is only likely in the most pristine specimens, and is soon lost. It is very similar to A. elopura, but the markings are stronger.
As is usual with this genus, it can only be found in well wooded areas. It is not uncommon.
