"Uppersurface violet brown or dark brown all over, male with black stigma, female forewing with up to two tiny diffuse white spots near center, the inner spot half moon-shaped."
Your individual seems to have quite a few more spots. I'm reasonably sure it's a Little Glassywing (Pompeius verna) instead. It has the spots as on your photo, as well as that golden egde on the wings. Posted 4 years ago
Small request is to update your titles and description to reflect the new ID. If we don't do that, people will come to this page searching for Euphyes vestris, yet get a different species instead. Would be confusing. Posted 4 years ago
