Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Arhopala madytus, the bright oakblue, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. The species was first described by Hans Fruhstorfer in 1914.[1][2][3] It is found on New Guinea and adjacent islands (Aru, Ambon, Waigeu, from Western New Guinea to Papua, Woodlark and the Louisiades) and the north-east coast of Queensland, Australia.[4]

The wingspan is about 40 mm.[4] Similar to Arhopala meander but above lighter bluish-violet. Beneath particularly the forewing shows dark longitudinal stripes on the hoary whitish-grey ground. [5]

The larvae feed on Terminalia catappa, T. melanocarpa, T. sericocarpa and Hibiscus tiliaceus. They are attended by the ant species Oecophylla smaragdina.[4]
