Abstract: This paper documents the successful establishment and spread in the Arabian Gulf of the North American butterfly Brephidium exilis (Boisduval, 1852) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae). First recorded from Sharjah in 1995, it can now be found throughout the United Arab Emirates, in northern Oman and in eastern Saudi Arabia feeding on exotic as well as native Chenopodiaceae and Aizoaceae. The possible mode of entry into the region is discussed, as is the potential final range.
