Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Pieris limnoria Godart is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being a subspecies of the taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio lycimnia Cramer, [1777] (Uitl. Kapellen 2 (9) : 13, pl. 105, figs E, F). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America.
