Strymon melinus
Little Hairstreak of the Family Lycaenidae. Blue grey on the upper surface, pinkish-grey on the underside. This one does not have any orange along the brown and white stripe that runs across both under wings and is different from 2 other spottings of Hairstreaks from Chiapas (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/201... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/783...).
On a bush along the highway between San Cristobal and Tuxtla Gutierrez, km 18.5, 1164 meters.
Thank you so much for the identification Karen, much appreciated. I was looking in the wrong genus! And thank you triggsturner and Hema for your nice comments!
