Callophrys [gryneus] siva
This is realted to apama, but it in a different group within the genus (subgenus Mitoura), which some people treat as a different genus. Also, siva is treated by some as a distinct species from gryneus (though the two blend over a broad zone where their distributions meet).

Note that it has tailed hind wings, while affinis, apama, and their closest kin do not. There are also large blackish spots and blue scaling near the tails on this species.

Moved from Butterflies and Skippers.
