Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Callidryas bracteolata Butler is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species Colias neocypris Hübner, [1823] (Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pl. [136]). There is an older nominal species which is currently considered subjectively as representing the above taxon, but the name (Papilio cipris Fabricius, 1793) of that nominal species is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the name (Papilio cipris Cramer, [1777]) of an older-established nominal species. The name Metura Butler is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the older name Metura Walker, 1855 (List Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 4 : 961). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
