Alpherakya devanica

Alpherakya devanica is a species of Lycaenid butterfly found in the Pamirs, Hindu Kush, Karakorum and Tajikistan.

Male upperside: dusky brown with more or less of a dense irroration of blue scales that spreads from the bases of the wings outwards towards the termen.

The amount of this blue scaling is irregular and variable; on the forewing it never extends up to the apex or terminal margin; on the hindwing never further than the disc.

Hindwing: without markings; in a few specimens traces of one or two subterminal dusky spots near the tornal angle; a slender black anteciliary line as on the forewing.

Forewing: the discocellular transverse black spot obscure, seen more by transparency from the underside than marked by actual scaling.
