'''''Archigenes chela''''', the '''spot Judy''', is a small but striking butterfly found in [[India]] that belongs to the family [[Riodinidae]]. A 2015 study separated them from the genus ''Abisara'' to ''Archigenes''.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Espeland |first1=Marianne |last2=Hall |first2=Jason P.W. |last3=DeVries |first3=Philip J. |last4=Lees |first4=David C. |last5=Cornwall |first5=Mark |last6=Hsu |first6=Yu-Feng |last7=Wu |first7=Li-Wei |last8=Campbell |first8=Dana L. |last9=Talavera |first9=Gerard |last10=Vila |first10=Roger |last11=Salzman |first11=Shayla |last12=Ruehr |first12=Sophie |last13=Lohman |first13=David J. |last14=Pierce |first14=Naomi E. |date=2015 |title=Ancient Neotropical origin and recent recolonisation: Phylogeny, biogeography and diversification of the Riodinidae (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) |journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution |language=en |volume=93 |pages=296–306 |doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2015.08.006|pmid=26265256 |bibcode=2015MolPE..93..296E |doi-access=free }}</ref> <br />

==Description==<br />
{{Entomology glossary hatnote}}<br />
Closely resembles ''[[Abisara neophron]]'' but is smaller in both sexes and differs as follows: <br />
Upperside of forewings has discal white band comparatively broader and shorter, not extending to vein 1, of more even width, not so conspicuously narrowed posteriorly; postdiscal white band more clearly defined and ending anteriorly in a prominent subcostal white spot. Hindwing differs in the subterminal broken white lines being bordered inwardly in interspaces 1 to 3 by much darker brown spots than in ''A. neophron''; the conspicuous oval black spots near apices of interspaces of 5 and 6 much as in ''A. neophron'', but the outer of the two subterminal short lines beyond them ochraceous, not white; tail at apex of vein 4 as in ''A. neophron'', but proportionately shorter. Underside as in ''A. neophron'', but the postdiscal band on the forewing comparatively broader and more clearly defined; the postdiscal area broadly lilac coloured.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bingham |first1=C.T. |authorlink=Charles Thomas Bingham |title=[[The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma|The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma Butterflies]] |volume=1 |edition=1st |publisher= [[Taylor & Francis|Taylor and Francis, Ltd.]] |location=London |year=1905 }}</ref><br />
