Other Common Name

Large Brown Azure

Notes

A search for this species at Dongara in 2016 had been unsuccessful, but the second attempt in November 2017 did turn up a few specimens. The butterflies look a great deal like Ogyris arcana sublustris, which also occurs at the site, but the idmo are significantly larger.
