Miletus chinensis longeana, Long's brownie,[1][2] is a small but striking butterfly found in India and Myanmar[3][4] that belongs to the lycaenids or blues family.

Range

It ranges from Manipur in India to Myanmar.[3][4]

Status

The species is reported as not being rare by William Harry Evans[3] and as rare as per Mark Alexander Wynter-Blyth.[4]

Description

A small butterfly, 30 to 38 mm in wingspan. The upper forewing in both sexes has a prominent curved white discal band; the lower spots composing it are separate and sometimes coalesced in female. The apical area of the upper forewing is darker than the basal area. The dry-season form of the butterfly is white above except for the apex and a discal brown patch of the forewing and the costa on the hindwing.[4]

Taxonomy

The butterfly was earlier known as Gerydus longeana de Nicéville.[3] It was formerly treated as a species, but is now regarded as a subspecies of Miletus chinensis.
