Description from Seitz

edit

suaveola Stgr. (72 f), from Central Asia, is as large as the largest European specimens [of Callophrys rubi], the upperside darker, the underside deeper green. From Saisan and Lepsa; as true rubi also occurs in these localities, suaveola may turn out to be the summer-brood.[2]
