It is found in North America from Alaska and Canada south of the tundra, through most of the United States except the Texas coast, southern plain and peninsula Florida; south in the mountains to Colombia. Since the publication of a monograph on the ''Lycaenopsis'' Group of Lycaenid genera in 1983 by Eliot & Kawazoe,〔, 1983. ''Blue butterflies of the ''Lycaenopsis'' group'': 1-309, 6 pls. London.〕 ''ladon'' has been considered by some taxonomic authorities to be a subspecies of ''Celastrina argiolus'' (Linnaeus, 1758). Other authorities still consider ''C. ladon'' and related species ''C. neglecta'' and ''C. serotina'', to be "full" species.〔(Cherry Gall Azure full species status ), BugGuide.com〕〔(Spring Azure ), Butterflies of Canada〕〔(Spring Azure ), Butterflies and Moths of North America〕〔(Spring Azure ), Encyclopedia of Life〕〔(''Celastrina'' ), funet.fi〕 ==Similar Species== *Summer Azure (''C. neglecta'') *Cherry Gall Azure (''C. serotina'') *Holly Azure (''C. idella'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Celastrina ladon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
