Zintha

Zintha is a butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae.

It is monotypic, with the only species being Zintha hintza, the blue-eyed Pierrot, blue pied Pierrot or Hintza blue.

The pied Pierrots proper are the closely related genus Tuxentius, however, and like Zintha they were formerly included in Castalius.

[2] The larvae feed on Ziziphus species, including Z. zeyheriana and Z. mucronata.

This butterfly occurs in tropical eastern and southern Africa.
