[ Pieris brassicoides marghanita Hemming, 1941 ]

d’ Abrera 1997: 101 (3 figs of subsp. brassicoides brassicoides Guérin-Méneville ).

As noted by Kielland (1980, 1990, p.53, as P. b. meridionalis Joicey and Talbot, 1922), P. brassicoides is a very local species known from Ethiopia and, in Tanzania, from the Ngorongoro area and Mt Meru only, where it flies above 2000 m. Why this species does not occur on Mt Kilimanjaro is something of a mystery.
