Satyrium latior is a butterfly of the Lycaeninae family. It was described by Johann Heinrich Fixsen in 1887. It is found in the Russian Far East (Transbaikalia, Amur, Ussuri), northern China and Korea.[2]

The larvae feed on Rhamnus davurica, Rhamnus ussuriensis and Armeniaca sibirica.

Description from Seitz
