'''''Arhopala''''' is a very large [[genus]] of [[gossamer-winged butterflies]] (Lycaenidae). They are the [[type genus]] of the [[tribe (biology)|tribe]] [[Arhopalini]]. In the relatively wide circumscription used here, it contains over 200 [[species]] collectively known as '''oakblues'''. They occur from [[Japan]] throughout [[temperate]] to [[tropical]] [[Asia]] south and east of the [[Himalayas]] to [[Australia]] and the [[Solomon Islands]] of [[Melanesia]]. Like many of their relatives, their [[caterpillar]]s are attended and protected by [[ant]]s ([[myrmecophily]]). [[Sexual dichromatism]] is often prominent in adult oakblues.<ref name = brower2008>Brower (2008)</ref>{{Failed verification|date=October 2021|reason=The source doesn't contain any reference to sexual dimorphism}}
The genus' delimitation versus ''[[Amblypodia]]'' and ''[[Flos]]'' has proven to be problematic; not all issues are resolved and the assignment of species to these genera must be considered somewhat provisional.

==Systematics==
As circumscribed here, this genus includes many formerly independent genera. [[Junior synonym]]s of ''Arhopala'' are:<ref name = brower2008 />
* ''Acesina'' <small>Moore, 1884</small>
* ''Aurea'' <small>Evans, 1957</small>
* ''Daranasa'' <small>Moore, 1884 (''[[lapsus]]'')</small>
* ''Darasana'' <small>Moore, 1884</small>
* "Iois" <small>Doherty, 1899 (''[[nomen nudum]]'')</small>
* ''Narathura'' <small>Moore, 1879</small>
* ''Nilasera'' <small>Moore, 1881</small>
* ''Panchala'' <small>Moore, 1882</small>
* ''Satadra'' <small>Moore, 1884</small>
The species have been provisionally sorted into groups of presumed closest relatives, but many species remain insufficiently studied even for such a preliminary assessment at present. For example, ''[[Arhopala phryxus|A. phryxus]]'' &ndash; the [[type species]] used by [[Jean Baptiste Boisduval]] when he described ''Arhopala'' in 1832 &ndash; was established at the same time as and specifically for this genus. It is considered to be a valid species of unclear affiliations, but it is suspected that Boisduval's [[taxon]] is a junior synonym of ''[[Arhopala thamyras|A. thamyras]]'' &ndash; the namesake of its species group &ndash; which had been described as ''Papilio thamyras'' by [[Carl Linnaeus]] already in 1764.<ref name = bs2008>Brower (2008), and see Savela (2008) for additional references</ref>
[[Molecular phylogenetic]] studies have only sampled a fraction of the known diversity of oakblues, but as it seems at least some of the groups represent clades that could justifiably be treated as [[subgenera]]. It is also to be seen, however, if the genus is [[monophyletic]] in the loose sense as used here, or would need to be split up again.<ref name = brower2008 />
===Species===
[[Species]] are listed alphabetically, while the groups are listed in the presumed [[phylogenetic]] sequence:<ref name = bs2008 />
