Arhopala aeeta is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae.[1] It was described by Lionel de Nicéville in 1893. It is found in Myanmar and northern Thailand.[2][3]
Description
Both the wings of the female are bluish-purple on top, and the underside is pinkish-grey with the markings in a dark brown color.[4][5]
It is differentiated from the similar Arhopala rama by the absence of tail, and from Arhopala dodonaea by being more whitish and more prominent hindwing markings.[4]
It has a wingspan of roughly 4.0–4.3 centimeters.[6] It is not rare in semi-dried forests at low to moderate elevation.[7]
