Species of butterfly
Arhopala tindali is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It was described by Carl Ribbe in 1899. It is found on the Solomon Islands and New Britain.[1]
Bethune-Baker considered tindali to be merely a darker form of Arhopala eurisus.[2]
Tennant considers it synonymous (conspecific) with Arhopala styx [3]
