Colias christophi
Colias christophi is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is found in Kirghizia and Tadzhikistan.
Description
Colias christophi has quite an exceptional aspect among Colias, the costal basal area having a peculiar reddish brown colour, and the submarginal spots of the forewing being extraordinarily large and almost white, forming a continuous band which is traversed by the narrowly black veins. The hindwing is dark, feebly greenish with white middle spot and a band of white submarginal spots. The underside is grey-green, with black middle spot on the forewing and a white one on the hindwing. The female differs only in the somewhat larger light submarginal spots on both wings.
