Family LYCAENIDAE 



The butterflies comprised in this family are small species, commonly known as 

 " hair-streaks," " blues " and " coppers." The forelegs in the females are completely 

 developed, in the males they are more or less brush-like. The caterpillars are slug-like and 

 the chrysalids are attached similarly to those of the swallow-tail and whites, a band of silk 

 around the centre in addition to the button at the tail.
