Colias christophi kali Korb, 1999 has been described from a series of 5
specimens (3 females, 2 males) (Korb 1999: 452-453). The holotype was sent to
the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris) five years ago but I still have
no confirmation of its receipt. Two other types, a male and a female, are
deposited in the collection ofA. Schulte (loc. cit.). In this situation it is not clear
that even one type is easily accessible. Because of that I place two other
paratypes, a male and a female (figs. 1^) from my collection in the Zoological
Museum ofthe Moscow State University.
Colias myrmidone antschari Korb, 2005 has been described from a series of
1 male holotype and 58 male and 53 female paratypes (Korb 2005: 23). The
holotype depository was stated as Zoological Institute in St.-Petersburg (Russia)
but it was not placed there. Now this type specimen, which is figured here (figs.
5-7) is deposited in the Zoological Museumofthe Moscow State University.
