Pontia is a genus of pieridbutterflies. They are found in the Holarctic, but are rare in Europe and central to eastern North America, and a few species range into the Afrotropics. Several East Asian species once placed here are now more often split off in Sinopieris. Like the closely related genus Pieris, they are commonly called whites.
Pontia sisymbrii (Boisduval, 1852) – spring white, California white, or Colorado white
Some other species are occasionally placed here, but alternatively in other genera. Pontia extensa may belong in Pieris, while a number of other species from the China region are often split off in Sinopieris:
