Thank you Prof Victor W Fazio III† & Matt Endacott for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Looks very similar to the common grass-blue & pea-blue butterflies. It is more brown with 2 distinctive spots on the rear wings. Notice the spots can be different shapes. Possibly camera angle, but will also vary depending on how stretched the wing is. | |||||
