Celastrina Echo, also known as Western Azure, is a specie of blue butterfly under the family Lycaenidae. It is found in North America regions, originated in Canada. Celastrina echo have been observed in mostly western region of United States, including California, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana[1].

The taxonomic division of Celastrina Butterflies has been a very complicated issue. Some scientists like Layberry et al once recognized C. echo (Edwards 1864) as a subspecie of C.ladon (Cramer, 1780) in western Canada[2]. At 2001, Guppy & Shepard nominated the C. echo to the species level[3]. Until now, many scientists agreed to put C.echo as a distinguished specie[2].
