Also known as Southern Brown Argus, this was previously a sub-species of the Brown Argus but has now been elevated to a full species in its own right.

Hi Luc & Ashish, after over 3 years this has finally been better identified as per the details I have put in the description and the link in the reference section.
I have no idea when the change was made, I saw one in Portugal recently and Aricia agestis is not on their official list of records but Aricia cramera is.
Yes Luc... shades are so fantastic.... even Winsor and Newton also doesn't have them...
yes, I had seen this sort in my book on the butterfly.:) You're lucky, it is superb !! I 've not seen like this before , it is a beautiful model .
