Arhopala aurea is a species of butterfly belonging to the lycaenid family described by William Chapman Hewitson in 1862.[2] It is found in Southeast Asia (Peninsular Malaya, Singapore and Sumatra).[3]
Description
[edit]Male of a very bright greenish golden colour, on the hindwing with a sharply defined black marginal band extending to the centre of the wing, whereas the forewing only exhibits at the anal angle slight traces of the marginal black which attains a width of hardly 1 mm. The marking beneath deviates from the forms of eumolphus by the narrower, more regularly shaped postmedian band of both wings.[4]
