This
attractive species is very closely related to the European Lang's
short-tailed blue. It's underside is similarly crowded and stripey -
hence the common name. I rarely saw the upperside. It was a common
butterfly on both my India trips and I saw it both in the North and the
South
of the country.

I only got one chance of a
shot at the upperside and it failed...
