I uploaded the spottings in a hurry, so must've missed filling it in. Thanks again for pointing it out!

Thank you for letting me know what happened with your Z. h. hylax. I wondered why you had the correct common name, but no scientific name and now I know. So, the mystery is solved. Happy spotting. John B.

John B,
I've mistakenly forgotten to put the scientific name; And I wouldn't have seen it if not for your suggestion. So thank you :D
There is only one Tiny Grass Blue subspecies in Sri Lanka, Zizula hylax hylax. I'll fill it in now.

I am not completely sure of the ID Suggestion I have sent to you because Wikipedia mentions India in distribution, but not Sri Lanka. Perhaps you can check if it is known to be present in Sri Lanka. John B.
