Zizula hylax

Hindwing: with the following small white-encircled black spots: a subbasal transverse series of three, followed by a highly curved series of eight spots, that curve across the disc of the wing to the costa and along the latter towards the base; discocellulars with a dusky short lunular line as on the forewing; terminal markings and cilia similar, but the outer and broader subterminal line more broken and macular than on the forewing.

Underside: very similar to that of the male, the ground colour a shade darker, the markings slightly larger and more prominent.

Antenna, head, thorax and abdomen as in the male, but the latter three without a trace of violet or blue on the upperside.

[3][4] The tiny grass blue is found in several races throughout tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia, and Oceania, including India,[1] Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Eswatini, north and east coasts of Australia and also in southern Australia.

The pupa is 0.7 cm long, hairy and green, and is attached to a stem or the underside of a leaf of a food plant.
