Lepidochrysops yvonnae

It differs on the basis of having a grey underside (dusted with light scales, giving a gritty appearance) unlike that of in L. chala, which is brown.

The head region is primarily white, containing two indistinct longitudinal rows of fine black hairs situated between the eyes.

Its labial palpi is basally white in the first segment, with blackish accents near the apex, or the dorsal region.

The legs are predominantly white, with the femora, tibia, and tarsi marked by black and dark-brown scales.

The femur-tibia follow size ratios of: The abdomen is mostly light grey with a scattering of blue scales dorsally, and the underside presenting a much lighter, whitish shade.

[4] The forewing exhibits a soft mauve color, marked with thin black margins and a small, dark spot at the end of the cell.

In some regions they are slightly dislodged and bordered by faint pale lines running along the lateral margins.

The lower fultura is equipped with two arms, which are combined securely to the base of its valves, providing structural stability.

Both the valvae and lobes of uncus are lined with fine, long setae which offer sensory and mechanical roles.

The aedaegus is elongated and cylindrical, sheathed by a pointed anellus that ismerged into its structure for added protection.The distal and laterla pieces extend strikingly, having their ends sharply bended inwards wgen observed from a lateral view.

The femur-tibia ratios are as follows: The middle leg is absent due to the slight morphological difference between the sexes.

The forewing displays mauve-blue coloration on the upper surface, accompanied by a large dark spot at the end of the cell.

Two white submarginal lines run along spaces 1-6 (occasionally containing purple scales), interrupted at the veins having a V-shaped pattern.

A black lunulate (crescent-shaped)spot appears at the end of space 2, bordered proximally by orange, and distally by white.
