The National Collection possesses a large amount of material of 

 this species, including the types of pieridis, and one series from Eng- 

 land, received from G. H. Bignell. The greater part of this material 

 has been reared from Pieris rapae, but one series bred at Riverhead, 

 Long Island, by H. M. Russell is said to be from Autographa hras- 

 sicae; another series, reared by W. E. Pennington at Boonsboro, 

 Maryland, is said to have come from Cirphis unipuncta, while the 

 Bureau of Entomology notes record the species as having been reared 

 by T. H, Jones, at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from Pieris protodice.
