Remarks.

Papilio aurora Esper, 1783 is a junior primary homonym of Papilio aurora Cramer, [1780]. The former is currently known as Colias heos (Herbst, 1792) and the latter is known as Colotis aurora (Cramer, [1780]). Grieshuber and Lamas (2007) provided a nomenclatural list of all available and unavailable names in the genus Colias and clearly stated that Colias aurora [ab.] crocopepla is infrasubspecific and thus not available name.
