Hello Daniel
sp1 it is Euchloe sp. Probably Euchloe daphalis.
sp2 it is Colotis sp. ( C.phisadia or C.vestalis female).

Hi Daniel,
The first one is Euchloe ausonia.
The other one looks like the white form of Colias crocea but I'm not sure.
Daniel
I suppose the butterflies in the photo sp.1 and sp1v are different species.
Butterfly on sp1v it certainly is not Euchloe ausonia, because most of the hindwing background is green.
Butterfly on the photo sp2 it certainly is not Colias!
The black spot in the cell of the forewing is in fact connected with a dark streak at the costa of the wing.
dear friend thaks for your help
