The Chocolate Royal, Remelana jangala travana (Hewitson)

The undersides of this butterfly is entirely dark chocolate brown, much like an Arhopala but it has no visible markings on its underside except for a long post-discal line that transverse the two wings in a darker brown. It has two prominent black spots on the end of its hindwings crowned with brilliant metallic green scales.
