Pierinae

Ixias CITRINA Moore, 1878 [1879]

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London for 1878 (4), 821–859 [837]. Junior subjective synonym of Ixias pyrene (Linnaeus, 1764) ssp. verna H. Druce, 1874 (see Gabriel, 1943).

Syntype, male, pinned: Specimen data: “Hondurang | Source” on verso “ Ixias citrina | type Moore” [Handwritten]. “Bailey [sic] | Coll | 1913.72” [Handwritten (not Grimshaw)]. “ TYPE SPECIMEN ” [Elongate, redbordered label]. Remarks : This specimen from the Upper Tenasserim Expedition of 1876-77 is from the precise type locality and so is part of the type series. The species was described from the male only but does not mention how many .

Pieris DOXO Godart , in Latreille & Godart, 1819

Encyclopédie Méthodique Histoire Naturelle [Zoologie] 9. Entomologie i–328 [123]. Current accepted combination: Dixeia doxo doxo (Godart, in Latreille & Godart, 1819) (see Larsen, 2005).

Holotype, male, pinned: Specimen data: “Doxo” [Handwritten (by Godart) on coarse paper]. “Dufresne” [Printed] on verso “ Pieris | Doxo | 21” [Handwritten]. “ TYPE ” [Handwritten on oval pink label]. “Dufresne | 1936-50 | 66” [Printed] on verso “ Dixeia doxo Godart | TYPE ” [Handwritten (by Grimshaw) on pale mauve paper]. Remarks: Originally described from a single specimen in the Dufresne Collection. This specimen is unambiguously that specimen and so is the holotype. Country of origin not specified . Holotype illustrated in colour by Grimshaw (1897, figure 6).

Pieris EPICHARIS Godart , in Latreille & Godart, 1819

Encyclopédie Méthodique Histoire Naturelle [Zoologie] 9. Entomologie i–328 [153]. Junior subjective synonym of Delias eucharis (Drury, 1773) (see Talbot, 1937).

Syntypes, two, pinned: Specimen data: Upperside Upward : “ Pieris Epicharis | Eastern Asia.” [Handwritten Dufresne cabinet label with lined border]. Dufresne registration label missing, “ TYPE ” [Printed on oval pink label]. Underside Upwards: “ TYPE ” [Printed on oval pink label]. No other labels. Remarks: In spite of the

absence of the Dufresne registration label the distinctive Dufresne cabinet label confirms that the uppersidemounted specimen is from the Dufresne cabinet and hence seen by Godart. It is thus a syntype of Pieris epicharis Godart. The specimen mounted underside uppermost is probably the second specimen - Grimshaw was convinced enough to attach a type label and it is probable the collection was still intact in 1897. According to the catalogue of the Dufresne collection two specimens of this species were present in the collection when it came to Edinburgh.Type locality is given as “la côte de Coromandel” [the coast of Coromandel, India].
