Robbins and Henson (1986), J. Lepid. Soc. 40(2): 79-92, discussed the various generic arrangements and concluded that Pieris [with the following synonymy] forms a monotypic genus related to Perrhybris Hübner, [1825], Itaballia Kaye, 1904, and Ganyra Billberg, 1820. = ‡Pieris Latreille, 1804 Nouv. Dict. Hist. Nat. 24(Tab.): 180, 200. Type-species: Papilio brassicae Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 467-468, no. 58, by monotypy.

D[anaus candidus] Rapae Type Locality: Not stated; defined as “Sweden” by Verity (1947), Farfalle diurn. d'Italia 3: 232, based on the reference to Fauna Svecica. Types: Lectotype in LSUK, designated by Honey and Scoble (2001), Zool. J. Linn. Soc. 132(3): 377. Most of the Palaearctic synonymy is not included. = metra (Stephens, 1827) Illustr. Brit. Entomol., Haustellata 1: 19-20 (1827); 146-147 (1828). Original Combination: Pontia Metra Type Locality: “at Hertford...at Ripley” [England] Types: Probably no type(s) designated. = minor (Costa, [1836]) Fauna Regno Napoli: [32], [311], pl. (Lepid. Diurn) 3, figs. 3, 4. Original Combination: Pontia Rapae var. Minor Type Locality: “Napoli” [Italy] Types: Location of type(s) not known. = immaculata de Selys-Longchamps, 1857 Annls. Soc. Entomol. Belg. 1: 5, no. 5. Original Combination: [Pieris Rapae] Var. Immaculata Type Locality: “Belgique” implied from the title of the paper. Types: Syntypes possibly in Fologne collection. = yreka Reakirt, 1866 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 18(3): 238, no. 1. Original Combination: Pieris yreka Type Locality: “California”; L. Miller and F. Brown (1981), Mem. Lepid. Soc. 2: 72, suggested that the syntype was a French specimen supplied by Lorquin with a false label. Types: Syntype(s) in FMNH; figured by Strecker (1874), Lepid. Rhop. Het. (8): pl. 8, figs. 6 ♂ D, 7 ♂ D&V. If the label data on the syntype are correct, then this species may have been introduced to North America on more than one occasion. = novangliae (Scudder, 1872) Can. Entomol. 4(4): 79; figured by Scudder (1889), Butts. E. U. S. & Can. 3(8): pl. 7, fig. 11 ♂ D&V. Original Combination: [Ganoris rapae] variety novangliae Type Locality: “Shelbourne [sic!], N.

Original Combination: [Pieris rapae summer brood] aestivus Type Locality: Not stated. Types: No types designated. Probably a nomen nudum. |
