Azanus isis, the white-banded babul blue, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae which is native to the tropics and subtropics of sub-Saharan Africa.
It is found in Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, southern Nigeria, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, Angola, the DRC, Uganda, Ethiopia, north-western Tanzania and northern Zambia.[1] The habitat consists of forest edges and clearings, woodland and moist savanna.
A. isis was previously designated as a type species in the subgenus Azanisis (Kemal, 2004), which is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Azanus (Moore, 1881).[2]
