Pieris PYRO Godart , in Latreille & Godart, 1819

Encyclopédie Méthodique Histoire Naturelle [Zoologie] 9. Entomologie i–328 [137]. Current accepted combination: Pyrisitia pyro (Godart, in Latreille & Godart, 1819) (see Lamas, 2004).

Holotype, female, pinned. Specimen data: “pyro” [Handwritten (by Godart)]. “Dufresne” [Printed] on verso

“ Pieris View in CoL | Pyro | 53” [Handwritten] “TYPE” [Oval pink label]. “Dufresne | 1936-50 | 62” on verso “Terias pyro Godart View in CoL | TYPE” [Handwritten (by Grimshaw)]. Remarks: Originally described from a single specimen in the Dufresne collection. This is that specimen and is thus the holotype. Country of origin is not specified. Bridges (1988b) gives the type locality as “ Haiti, S.Domingo” as it is now known to be endemic to Hispaniola ( Haiti and Dominican Republic). Holotype is illustrated by Grimshaw (1897, figure 7).
