Abstract The Hedge Cupid butterfly, Bothrinia chennellii (de Nicéville, 1884) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) is rediscovered to Meghalaya, India, from two different localities since its last known records. The species was last recorded 63 years ago by Cantlie from Shillong, Khasi Hills, Meghalaya in 1952 and since then no records of this species has been found in the literature of the state. The species is legally protected under Schedule II of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. In this paper taxonomy, distribution and current habitat of the species are discussed.
