Colias erate (Esper, [1804])

Rare and local. Several generations, from May to September.

Early/late dates: May 28 - September 11.

Habitat: steppes.

Remark: It is quite possible that this butterfly is just an ecological form of C. croceus. I keep the current status of C. erate here pending a confirmation.
