''Colias chlorocoma '' is a butterfly in the family Pieridae found in Transcaucasia, Turkey and Iran. ==Taxonomy== Originally described as ''Colias chlorocoma'' Christoph, 1888. Röber considered ''C. chlorocoma'' to be an apparently very rare, local form of ''Colias libanotica''〔Julius Röber in Seitz, A. 1906 ''The Macrolepidoptera of the world''; a systematic description of the hitherto known Macrolepidoptera Volume 1 ''The Palearctic Butterflies'' Stuttgart : Seitz'schen (Kernen)〕 Treated as a species of ''Colias'' Fabricius, 1807 by Tuzov et al.〔Tuzov et al., 1997 ''Guide to the butterflies of Russia and adjacent territories''. Volume 1. Pensoft, Sofia - Moscow.〕 Grieshuber & Gerardo Lamas consider that ''C. chlorocoma'' is very closely related to and possibly conspecific with ''Colias sagartia'' but androconial spots are rare in ''chlorocoma'' and males have yellow spots in the marginal band. The flight, the biotopes, and the foodplants of the two taxa are identical. ''C. chlorocoma'' is rather variable, in particular the green wing pigmentation differs from population to population but is usually greenish-yellow, ''C. sagartia'' is greenish. Oorschot, H. & Wagener, S. treat all the subspecies as junior synonyms〔Oorschot, H. & Wagener, S. 1995 ''Die Tagfalter der Türkei unter Berücksichtigung der angrenzenden Länder.''
