Arhopala democritus or white-dot oakblue, is a species of butterfly belonging to the lycaenid family described by Johann Christian Fabricius in 1793.[1] It is found in Southeast Asia (Burma, Thailand, Mergui, Indochina, Langkawi, Peninsular Malaya, Singapore, Sumatra and Borneo).[2] [3]
Male above Morpho-blue, female likewise of a bright blue, though not reflecting so much, with a broad black marginal band of the forewing which begins thin before the centre of the costa, growing 5 mm broad behind the cell, and ending again thin at the anal angle. The under surface is particularly characteristic, since on the dark chestnut-brown ground all the rings and bands are broken up into small commata and dots, so that the chains are hardly noticeable.[4]
