Colias

***Colias*** est genus papilionum subfamiliae Coliadinarum familiae Pieridarum, in America endemicus. Genus artissime cognatum est *Zerene*, quod aliquando in *Coliadem* digeritur. Hoc genus per Oecozonam Holarcticam invenitur, inter quam regiones arcticae. Singuli etiam in Africa, Sinis, et India habitant.

Larvae quibusdam Fabaceis, exempli gratia *Viciis,* vescuntur. Aliae species hominibus sunt utiles quia herbas inutiles destruunt; aliae aliquando sunt molestae quia *Medicaginis sativae* et aliarum frugum pestes fiunt. In nonnullis speciebus, alis marum est clarissima repercutio lucis *ultraviolet*, cum alis feminarum non est.

Notabiles lepidopterologistae qui multas huius generis investigationes facerunt sunt J. Malcolm Fawcett, Georgius B. Johnson, et Henricus Rowland-Brown.
