Shot this strange looking Arhopala this morning, in the NE area. First I thought it was a worn out Centuar Disk Oak Blue, but this is around the size of a Palmfly and the colurs don't seem to match.

Can anyone help?

The largest Arhopala known to be found on the peninsular is Arhopala anarte, which reaches a wingspan of c.58mm. However, it does not look like that either! Saying that, your specimen is very, very worn.

Thanks Les, I guess this specimen is too worn out to be correctly IDed.
