181G. Lam., Hist. Nat. An. sans Vert. iv. 30 : brassicaj and others, 



including rapas. 

 1816. Iliibn., Verz. 53 : employs it for species of another family. 

 1827. Steph., III. Brit. Ent. Ilaust. i. 25: restricts it to cratxgi, but 



improperly. See Aporia. 

 1831. Curtis, Brit. Ent., pi. 3G0: also specifies crata?gi as type. 

 1832-33. Swains., Zool. 111. ir. 69: designates Belisama as type; but 



it is not even one of Schrank's species. 

 1836. Boisd., Spec. gen. 434: employs it for all of Schrank's third 



group, excepting sinapis and cardamines, and this has 



been its general use ever since. 



Since all of the other species given bj' Schraiik must be taken as types 

 of other genera (see Aporia, Mancipium, Pontia, Euchloe, and Leptidia), 

 rapae may be taken as the type, as it is virtually included in the group 

 by Latreille in 1809. This, too, would best accord with modern usage. 



1840. Westw., Gen. Syn. 87 : also specifies cratsgi as type. 



1870. Butl., Cist. Ent. i. 37, 49 : considers Demophile (Amathonte) 



as type. This, he says, is the type of Boisduval's Pieris 

 [it was simply his first species] ; Apollo, that of Schrank's ; 

 Leucippe, that of Latreille and Godart; he adopts Demo- 

 phile, because " we ought to have a genus Pieris in the 

 Pierinte." But it was not mentioned by Schrank. 

 1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 41 : specifies brassicce as type, erroneously. 

 See Mancipium, Ganoris, and Catophaga. 



872. PlERlTES* (fossil). 

 1849. Herr, Insektenf. Oening. ii. 182: Freyeri. Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 Falls before Synchloe, with which it is synonymous. In 1840 a 

 group of butterflies was named Pie'rites by Blanchard and Brullc; but 

 it would hardly affect this, for the name is not Latin, but a Gallicized 

 form of Latin. 



873. PiNDIS. 



1869. Feld., Verhandl. Zool. -hot. Gesellsch. "Wien. xix. 475 : squa- 



mistriga. Sole species, and therefore type. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 108: the same. 



874. PisoLA. 

 18G5. Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 785: Zennara. Sole species, 



and therefore type. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 583 : the same.
