This beautiful butterfly is nearly allied to P. Eucharis of Drury and Cramer.

Pieris Nera is most nearly allied to P. Hirlanda of Stoll,and P. Helvia of Humboldt and Bonpland’s 
work, which I believe to be one and the same species. In the marking of the underside it is like P. 
Gidica of Godart. 
PIERIS MALENKA. 5, 6. 
UprersivE cream colour. Anterior wing with the costal margin black. The apex 
black to the middle of the outer margin, the inner margin of the black deeply sinuated 
below the middle. Posterior wing with a narrow black line round the outer margin.
