The Chinese Hairstreak (''Amblopala avidiena'') is a small butterfly found in India (Naga Hills) and China that belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family. "This species was mentioned as a great rarity from China and North India,where it appeared hardly to reach Palaearctic territory. According to a recent communication by the missionary Herr Klapheck the species extends northward to Shantung, where he obtained it repeatedly,though not commonly. The species, therefore, is Palaearctic. Leech characterizes it as being lilac blue on the upperside at the base, the outer half being dark brown with a forked orange spot; hindwing with a tripartite orange spot, anal lobe large and prominent. Female similar, larger."〔 Adalbert Seitz ''Die Großschmetterlinge der Erde'', Verlag Alfred Kernen, Stuttgart Band 1: Abt. 1, Die Großschmetterlinge des palaearktischen Faunengebietes, Die palaearktischen Tagfalter, 1909, 379 Seiten, mit 89 kolorierten Tafeln (3470 Figuren) 〕 ==References== * Evans, W.H.
