[Leps-l] What is the Evidence that Spring and Summer Azures are separate ...

[Roger Kuhlman]

So does that mean there are clear and consistent generic DNA sequencing differences between C. ladon and C. neglecta? Or is it the case differences may exist but those differences may be due to sampling error. Has it been established C. neglecta are not and can not be second and third brood seasonal variants of ladon? Could you raise ladon larva to become adult neglecta lookalikes under certain environmental conditions? Have not people in the past claimed that to be true? I do not know what to think on any of these questions.

Dear Roger,
 
See the recent research article at ZooKeys that treats of this genus:

  I would like to know if there is good evidence that Spring Azure 
  (Celastrina ladon) and Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta) are separate species 
  or only just seasonal variants of the same species. Sure they look different 
  but they appear in exactly the same habitats at least that is true in 
  southeast Michigan. I think they may also use the same larval host-plants here 
  although I can not substantiate that claim.
