Iridana marina is a butterfly in the Lycaenidae family. It is found in Uganda, the north-eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and north-western Tanzania.[2] The habitat consists of forests.
The larvae probably feed on lichens among ants. During the day, it hides in a crack in a bark with a light silken covering over it.
