Arhopala admete is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It was described by William Chapman Hewitson in 1863. It is found in the Australasian realm,[2]
Beneath all the bands and spots are edged with a bright white on a red-brown ground. Recognizable by all the spots in the forewing being absent as far as the postmedian transverse band, except the cell-end spot; in the hindwing all the spots are very small. Above the male is deep dark blue, the female black, the basal halves of the wings with a blue gloss.[3]
