Coliadinae, the sulfurs, sulphurs, or yellows, are a subfamily of butterflies with about 300 described species. There are 36 species in North America, where they range from Mexico to northern Canada. Males of most species are different from females, including, (for example, in the genera ''Colias'' and ''Gonepteryx'') brilliant UV reflections which the females lack.〔Lim & Li (2005)〕 ==Systematics== The Coliadinae can be arranged in the 3 traditional tribes and a basal lineage, with one genus of unclear placement. The taxa—including some selected species—are arranged here in the presumed phylogenetic sequence, from the most ancient lineages to the most modern ones:〔Brower (2006)〕 Basal lineage * ''Kricogonia'' Reakirt, 1863 * ''Nathalis'' Boisduval, () Euremini * ''Terias'' Swainson, 1821 * ''Pyrisitia'' Butler, 1870 * ''Abaeis'' Hübner, () * ''Eurema'' Hübner, () – grass yellows * ''Leucidia'' Doubleday, () * ''Teriocolias'' Roeber 1909 Goniopterygini * ''Dercas'' Doubleday, () – sulphurs * ''Gonepteryx'' Leach, () – brimstones Coliadini * ''Catopsilia'' Hübner, () – emigrants * ''Colias'' Fabricius, 1807 – clouded yellows * ''Zerene'' Hübner, () * * ''Zerene eurydice'' – California Dogface Butterfly * ''Anteos'' Hübner, () – angled-sulphurs * ''Aphrissa'' Butler, 1873 * ''Phoebis'' Hübner, () * * ''Phoebis sennae'' – Cloudless Sulphur * * ''Phoebis avellaneda'' – Red-splashed Sulphur * ''Prestonia'' Schaus, 1920 * *''Prestonia clarki'' Schaus, 1920 * ''Rhabdodryas'' Godman & Salvin, () * *''Rhabdodryas trite'' (Linnaeus, 1758) ''Incertae sedis'' * ''Gandaca'' Moore, () * * ''Gandaca harina'' (Horsfield, ()) – Tree Yellow 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coliadinae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
