Anthene lycaenina, the pointed ciliate blue,[2] is a small butterfly found in India that belongs to the lycaenids or blues family found in Indomalayan realm.

In markings on the upperside the two forms are closely alike; on the underside they differ as follows: Ground colour similar but a shade darker.

Hindwing: a large black or dark brown white-encircled spot touching vein 7 near its base (in A. emolus there is never any trace of such spot).

The discal and terminal transverse bands with their pale or white edgings much more broken, irregular and confused.

Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the female of A. emolus, but on the underside the palpi, thorax and abdomen whiter with a slight bluish tint.
