Iryna's Azure
Celastrina iryna
Celastrina iryna, or Iryna's azure, is a butterfly species in the family Lycaenidae, named in honor of Iryna Zarutska, who was killed in 2025. Thought to be a hybrid species, the males differ from Celastrina neglecta by their absence of androconia and presence of elongated wing scales, while the females have a nearly immaculate white underside.
