Description
The Tailless Line-blue, like its close cousin, the Common Line Blue (Prosotas nora superdates) is a small butterfly, with a wingspan of about 10-12mm. In the male, the upperside is a bluish purple with a very narrow black border on the forewing above. The female is dark brown above with an almost imperceptible blue basal area. The undersides are greyish unlike the ochreous base colour of Prosotas nora.

Habitat & Habits
The butterfly has a restless flight, and seldom seems to stop for long. When it occurs, the species tends to appear in relatively large numbers and remains abundant for a few days, after which it disappears without a trace. It is often found in the vicinity of the roadside trees Madras Thorn (Pithecelobium dulce) and the Rain Tree (Samanea saman) suggesting that the caterpillar may prefer either of these trees as its host plant.
