The figure 8 on the rear under surface, the lower circle clearly larger, is a striking feature. Mostly found with closed wings, the brown edge is partially visible in this posture. The wings sometimes look more greenish than yellow. ⇔ wsp. 35-45 mm LA: ≈ The COLIAS ALFACARIENSIS (Berger's Clouded Yellow) is difficult to distinguish visually.
