Aloeides dentatis, the Roodepoort copper, is a species of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae.

[3] There is a submarginal silvery band on the underside of hindwing, extending from costa to the inner margin.

[5] The larvae of the nominate subspecies feed on Hermannia depressa and Lotononis eriantha.

[1] A. dentatis are noted to secrete chemicals from their perforated cupolas, that mimic the brood pheromones of the host ants, allowing them blend in with the colony.

To avoid being attacked, the glands near tubercles produce a second secretion that mimics the 'alarm pheromones' of these ants.
