The Dark Grass Blue or African Grass Blue, is a species of blue butterfly found in Africa, on Cyprus and the Iberian Peninsula. Sometimes mistakenly called "Zizeeria lysimon", that species name is invalid as it is preoccupied by "Papilio lisimon" Stoll, [1790], a butterfly in the family Riodinidae.
