Arhopala asinarus tonguva


Arhopala asinarus tonguva - Male



<< Back to Lycaenidae overview

Grose-Smith 1887 - Broad-banded Oakblue

A medium sized tailless species, which, unlike the majority of Arhopalas, seems to prefer secondary vegetation to full forest.

It is very local on the Island, and many can bee seen on a single tree, whilst completely ignoring other trees of the same species nearby.
