Milind, this is certainly not the Dark Cerulean (Jamides bochus). Check that species:
http://ifoundbutterflies.org/228-jamides/jamides-bochus-dp3 There are several Ceruleans in the Andamans that look like your species on the underside. We can¹t tell which one is yours without looking at the UP. For reference, you can check some of the Indian ceruleans at: http://ifoundbutterflies.org/228-jamides-dp2 With best regards, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Ramanujan Fellow and Reader National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS) Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) GKVK, Bellary Road, Bengaluru 560065, India.
