Anthocharidini

Adults often exhibit orange or yellow wing coloration, with some species showing distinctive orange apical patches on forewings. Larvae of Anthocharis species can be identified to species group by fifth instar morphology and pupal cone curvature. DNA barcoding (mitochondrial COI) reliably separates most species groups, though some recently diverged species pairs may show overlapping barcode variation.

Widespread across the Northern Hemisphere. North American representatives include: the lanceolata and sara groups in western North America; the cethura group in southwestern North America; and the midea group ranging from northeastern USA south to Hidalgo, Mexico.

Fifth instar larvae and pupal cone curvature serve as diagnostic morphological characters for species identification in Anthocharis.
