cronissa ( Godart, [1824])

Pieris cronissa Godart, [1824] : Encyclopedie Methodique. Histoire naturelle. Entomologie, ou histoire naturelle des crustacés, des arachnides et des insectes. 9 (2): 814.

Type material. Pieris cronissa assumes the type of Papilio cronis Cramer, 1775 , because it is a replacement name ( see cronis above).

Type locality. “ West-Indiën ”; most probably Surinam ( see cronis above).

Taxonomic status. Pieris cronissa is a superfluous replacement name for Papilio cronis Cramer, 1775 and is invalid as a junior objective synonym of that name. As Cramer’s type of cronis was an artefact, made up of the forewings of an H. cronis specimen and the hindwings of a pierid butterfly (fig. 14), Godart ([1824]) decided to treat it as a pierid and unnecessarily gave it a new name.

Distribution. See cronis above.

Discussion. See cronis above.
