Great news Viv! I'm glad I left it at genus level :-)

Hi Daniele1 I got an ident from Les .. he had found the butterfly on Koh Samui as well.

Thanks for the suggestion Daniele .. I have posted the pic to a local FB Butterfly page of which Les Day/Samui Butterflies is a member

Hi Viv! This one is in the genus Arhopala. Close to Arhopala athada but some small pattern differences to my eyes... I hope you can get closer or someone else can help further. http://www.samuibutterflies.com/insects/butterflies/lycaenidae/arhopalaathada/
