Allotinus corbeti is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. [1] It was described by John Nevill Eliot in 1956. [1] [2] It is found in Thailand, [3] Laos, [4] [ self-published source ] Peninsular Malaysia, [3] Singapore [3] and on Borneo, [4] Sumatra [4] and Mindanao. [3]

It is named in honor of Dr. A. S. Corbet, to whom Eliot had sent the specimen before World War II, "in admiration of his researches on Malayan butterflies and in memory of his unfailing kindness and encouragement." [2] Corbet had initially identified it as Allotinus dilutus (now Allotinus unicolor dilutus), presumably on the basis of its small size. [2]

Miletinae is a subfamily of the family Lycaenidae of butterflies, commonly called harvesters and woolly legs, and virtually unique among butterflies in having predatory larvae. Miletinae are entirely aphytophagous. The ecology of the Miletinae is little understood, but adults and larvae live in association with ants, and most known species feed on Hemiptera, though some, like Liphyra, feed on the ants themselves. The butterflies, ants, and hemipterans, in some cases, seem to have complex symbiotic relationships benefiting all.
