Unni, this is Tailless Lineblue (Prosotas dubiosa). Amol Patwardhan and Yuwaraj Gurjar have very good pictures of the White-tipped Lineblue (P. noreia), perhaps they can post their images. E. Kunhikrishnan from TVM also has very good pictures, but I don’t think he is on this group.

Photographed in 2008 March, at Vellikulanagara, a low altitude mixed deciduous forest. (The place where I photographed this species no longer exists - the area was cleared off all vegetation and the land was handed over to the tribal people by the Government of Kerala.) Does anyone have better pictures of the species for comparison and confirmation of the ID? Any data on its distribution?
