General Description

provided by University of Alberta Museums
"A mid-sized butterfly with a wingspan of 36 to 41 mm and with pink wing margins. The dorsal wing surface of males is bright yellow and has a wide black border. In contrast, the ventral wing surface is green and dull. Females may be white and have a narrower wing border. This species can be distinguished from other sulphurs by the lack of a black spot on the forewing, the absence of submarginal spots on the ventral hindwing and the white, ventral hindwing spot without a border. C. chippewa is formerly known as C. palano (L.), the Palaeno Sulphur. In, Alberta Butterflies and The Butterflies of Canada, chippewa is treated as a subspecies of C. palaeno. Eggs not described. Guppy & Shepard (2001) state that larvae are undescribed, but Opler (1999) reports that European larvae are green and have a yellow stripe on each side. Pupae are not described."

Trophic Strategy

provided by University of Alberta Museums
Unknown for Alberta. Potential larval host plants of C. chippewa are Vaccinium uliginosum and V. caespitosum because they are used near Churchill, Manitoba (Oosting & Parshall 1978) and in Europe (Bird et al. 1995). Adults nectar feed on a variety of flowering plants (Oosting & Parshall 1978).

Colias chippewa

provided by wikipedia EN

Colias chippewa, the heath sulphur, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae found in North America and northeastern Asia. Its range includes Alaska across northern Canada, including all the territories, and as far east as Labrador.[1] and the Russian Far East.

Flight period is from mid-June until early August.[1]

Wingspan is from 32 to 45 mm.[1]

Larvae feed on Vaccinium uliginosum and Vaccinium caespitosum.[1][2]

Habitat

Bogs and tundras.

Taxonomy

Colias chippewa may be a subspecies of Colias palaeno see Grieshuber & Lamas, 2007;[3] however, C. chippewa is considered a separate species from C. palaeno by Guppy and Shepard (2001)[4] on the basis of work by V. K. Tuzov (which they quote). He found that, in the Magadan region of Siberia, the two forms were sympatric but locally separated C. chippewa was restricted to stream-edges in dry tundra and C.palaeno was found only in low-elevation forested swamps.
