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 a white middle spot and a band of white submarginal spots. The underside is grey green, with a 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.
