Colias sareptensis → Colias alfacariensis – Principle of least surprise. The name sareptensis, albeit older than alfacariensis, is widely regarded as invalid. Virtually every source I can find calls this species Colias alfacariensis. LamBoet (talk) 21:40, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

- Support This is a slam dunk taxonomically. The ICZN ruled in 2007 to preserve alfacariensis against sareptensis (abstract[1]). Full text PDF of the 2006 proposal to conserve [2]. Plantdrew (talk) 20:56, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
