Aslauga is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. They are associated with other insects and found only in the Afrotropical realm. They are small usually grey-blue or grey-purple butterflies with a distinctive, but widely varied wing shape, especially pronounced in A. pandora.[1] They are forest butterflies of the Congolian forests and Lower Guinean forests.
Original description by William Forsell Kirby:
"Wings short and broad, very densely scaled; anterior wings strongly curved outwards in the middle of the hind margin; posterior wings with a concavity on the inner margin at the anal angle. Anterior wings with the subcostal nervure five-branched, the first two branches emitted near together before the end of the cell and parallel, the other three short and emitted near the apex of the wing; the third and fourth parallel, running into the costa before the apex, the fifth running to the hind margin just below the apex".[2]

Aslauga er en slekt av dagsommerfugler som hører til underfamilien Miletinae i den artsrike familien glansvinger (Lycaenidae). Disse små, men fargerike sommerfuglene lever i tropisk Afrika.
Små sommerfugler (vingespenn 25-32 millimeter) med brede, litt kantete vinger. Oversiden kan være blå- eller grønnskimrende, eller oransje, vingespissene vanligvis mørkere.
Larvenes levevis er litt uvanlig for sommerfugler i og med at de er rovdyr. De lever av nymfer av ulike nebbmunner, blant andre tornsikader og skjoldlus.
Slekten er utbredt i Vest- og Sentral-Afrika.

維灰蝶屬(学名:Aslauga)是雲灰蝶亞科大灰蝶族裡的一個屬。小型蝴蝶(展翅25-32毫米)。翅膀起角,翅面有閃爍的藍色或綠色。物種分佈於中至西非的熱帶地區。幼蟲為肉食性,吃角蟬科或介殼蟲的若蟲,會與螞蟻共生。
維灰蝶屬是大灰蝶族中的一個演化支,是此族的基群,也是「尤里灰蝶屬+大灰蝶屬」演化支的旁系群。
