Notes

This is the first reliable record from Thailand. The specimens are obtained by Antonio Giudici on 29.Jun.2018 in Satun province.
Pinratana (1981) recorded Arhopala myrzala lammas from Songkhla, however the figured specimen is Arhopala bazaloides, and the figured specimen shown in Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) is from W.Malaysia. The butterfly is uncommon in montane forests at low elevations.
