Horaga ( Moore, 1881) |
Horaga is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae which John Nevill Eliot, 1973, [1] places in the tribe Horagini of the subfamily Theclinae. The wings are blue, purple or brown above, with broad black costal and distal margins and usually a white discal spot on the forewing. The female is dingier than the male. The underside is ochreous, or ochreous brown, with a dark postdiscal line on both wings outwardly edged with white, this edging forming a broad white band not continued much above vein 6, on the forewing, but narrower and outwardly diffuse on the hindwing. The hindwing bears filamentous tails at veins 1b, 1 and 3 and, beneath. The pattern of H. araotina is aberrant. [2]
The genus occurs in Asia, where it is distributed from Sri Lanka to Taiwan, and through the Malay Archipelago to New Guinea.
