Introduction
The genus Arhopala contains some 200 species, distributed from India to Japan to Australia and the Solomon Islands. There is substantial disagreement among authors as to circumscription and synonymy of many species. Larvae are attended by ants.
Discussion of Phylogenetic Relationships
Species groups are based on classifications by Eliot (1992) and Parsons (1999). The alphabetical list of species at the bottom represents taxa not mentioned in either of those works. Megens et al. (2004) published a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for 27 Arhopala species, but this represents a tiny fraction of the diversity of the group and the resultant trees do little more than corroborate some (but not all) of the species groups indicated in the list above.
