Papilionoidea (?).
Croatia, Radoboj; early Miocene.
Depository: material probably lost, see Sohn et al. (2012) under Pontia freyeri .
Published figures: Scudder (1875: pl II, Figs 16, 18).
Original description and figure copied by Scudder (1875). Only one forewing present. Venation, particularly in apical part, hardly visible at all. Scudder placed this fossil in the recent genus Pontia ( Pieridae : Pierinae ) on the basis of obscure markings. He was followed by Kozlov (1988). However, I agree with Zeuner (1942) in considering the condition of the fossil too poor to make any reliable observations about its relationship.
