The butterfly was reassigned to genus Burara by Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) and is considered by them to be Burara vasutana.[3] RangeThe green awlet is found in Nepal, the Indian Himalayas, Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.[2] In India, the butterfly ranges from Kumaon, across Nepal along the Himalayas to Sikkim and Assam and eastwards towards Myanmar.[2][4] The type locality is Darjeeling in northern West Bengal.[2] StatusWilliam Harry Evans described it is being not rare in the Himalayas.[4]Description{{Lepidopteran glossary hatnote}}.The butterfly has a wingspan of 55 to 65 mm.[4] Edward Yerbury Watson (1891) gives a detailed description:[5]{{quote|Male.
