Lycaenidae, Lycaeninae, Polyommatini, should be the male of Polyommatus semiargus semiargus. http://www.natur-schmetterlinge.ch/schmetterlinge-nach-familie/lycaenidae-bläulinge/polyommatus-semiargus-violetter-waldbläuling/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/dominikhofer/5990945747/in/album-72157622836632606/

They have these at the butterfly garden. We're going there tomorrow or Sunday so I'll try to tell you the name. I remember that they are native to Brazil and Argentina.
