Awesome!! I love it when a new species is found, rather than hearing of another one going extinct...
Good job Pastor... emoticon

China could be an interesting place to visit. I do wonder where this one gets the name of blue. It looks white to me.

Looks white to me too. emoticon
But the very end of that article that Pastor linked above says:
quote:

The name given to the new species refers: (a) to the beautiful mountain on the slopes of which it was found (Xiu-Shan in Chinese means "beautiful mountain"), and (b) the species name was dedicated to Dr. Xiushan Li who worked at UFZ for some years.

I suppose that makes sense then. Wish that they would discover some new butterflies closer to home though. Not likely I'll get to China anytime soon. I'm lucky to be able to afford to get out of my own back yard lately.
