Journal Article
A revision of the Pieris napi-complex (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) and similar species with distribution in China
2023
Overview
The taxonomic status of the
Pieris napi
-complex and similar species which occur in China are revised. Relevant species distributed in the adjacent regions were included to clarify the status of Chinese species and were briefly revised. All those species are described and illustrated and new synonyms are established. A molecular phylogenetic analysis is also performed on the species group including similar species, to investigate the phylogenetic relationships between taxa. Species of the
Pieris napi
-complex that occur in China and adjacent regions are redefined, with four similar species excluded (
P. melaina
,
P. extensa
,
P. chumbiensis gyantsensis
and
P. melete
). A distribution map and keys of the complex including similar species are provided. The taxon
P. mihon
Yakovlev, 2006 stat. nov. is raised from subspecies to species status;
P. narina
Verity, 1908 stat. rev. is confirmed as a distinct species rather than a subspecies of
P. ochsenheimeri
;
Pieris euorientis
Verity, 1908 stat. rev. is recovered as a distinct species sister to
P. dulcinea
. Two taxa, ssp. sauron and ssp. bryonides are moved from subspecies of
P. euorientis
and
P. bryoniae
, respectively, to
P. napi
,
i.e. P. napi sauron
Yakovlev, 2004 comb. nov and
P. napi bryonides
Sheljuzhko, 1910 comb. rev. A new synonym is proposed:
Pieris ochsenheimeri tianshansis
Tadokoro, Shinkawa & Wang, 2014, new synonym of
P. mihon
Yakovlev, 2006. A new mistaken identification is proposed:
Pieris dulcinea kneitzi
is a misidentification of
Pieris erutae kneitzi
Eitschberger, 1983 comb. rev. Five Chinese species belonging to the
Pieris napi
-complex were confirmed, namely
P. narina
,
P. mihon
,
P. latouchei
,
P. dulcinea
, and
P. erutae
. Among them, two species,
P. mihon
Yakovlev, 2006 and
Pieris narina
Verity, 1908, are newly recorded from China. The taxonomic status of
Pieris steinigeri
Eitschberger, 1983 and
Pieris bryoniae sifanica
Grum-Grshimailo, 1895 is also discussed.
