The genus is described as "Small Arctiids with relatively narrow wings. Ground colour brownish black with characteristic wings patterns. Forewing with elongate rusty-red blotch from the base almost to the apex, hindwing with rusty-red stripe along the costal edge; underside of wings similarly coloured. Males with coremata forming membranous tubes, much longer than abdomen when everted, covered with hairs along the whole length" [1]

Arhopala is a very large genus of gossamer-winged butterflies (Lycaenidae). They are the type genus of the tribe Arhopalini. In the relatively wide circumscription used here, it contains over 200 species collectively known as oakblues. They occur from Japan throughout temperate to tropical Asia south and east of the Himalayas to Australia and the Solomon Islands of Melanesia. Like many of their relatives, their caterpillars are attended and protected by ants (myrmecophily). Sexual dichromatism is often prominent in adult oakblues.
