Rapala manea chozeba - Male

<< Back to Lycaenidae overview

Hewitson 1863 - The Slate Flash

This species was only found for the first time on 31 May 2012. This was suprising, as it is a common species elsewhere down the peninsular. This is probably due to its similarity to other similar Rapala species, and has been misidentified up to now.

This is a species of secondary growth and the edge of woodland, and is one of the smaller members of the genus.
