}}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, but like Zintha they were formerly included in Castalius.[1] The wingspan is 24–28 mm for males and 24–27 mm for females. Adults are on wing from September to April.[2] The larvae feed on Ziziphus species, including Z. zeheriana and Z. mucronata. Distribution and subspeciesThis butterfly occurs in tropical eastern and southern Africa. Three subspecies are recognized:[3]
