Introduction with the Articl e74 of ICZN for the designationo fthe
lectotype
There are three distin cstpecies of the Pieri snapi-group and paralectotype.
in Japan ,Pieri smelete and two napi-related species, one Eitschberger (1983 )also revised the type localit yof
from Hokkaido and the other from Honshu. The taxon Pieri snesis from Sapporo/Hokkaido to North Honshu,
Pieri s(napi n)esis Fruhstorf e1r9,09 has been treated by only after reviewing both Fruhstorfer(t90 9an)d the type
differe nautthors as the napi-related species either from speclmens.

(Yamato -sujiguroshirochou). The confusion has been Materia lasnd methods
