Description: | This specimen is from William Hunter's collection which was utilised by Fabricius and Olivier in describing many new species. The collection contains types from other contemporary entomologists such as Drury.
These butterflies were seen and commented on by Harish Gaonkar in November 2003, as part of his research on Oriental/Australasian butterflies.
This specimen does not match the species description by Fabricius (Systema Entomologiae, Appendix, p. 828). A specimen lower in the drawer does resemble *C. pyranthe* which is the modern name for the species. This may be a syntype of *gnoma* mis-placed. Although the cabinet label is clearly part of the contemporary arrangement it does not appear in the Trustees Catalogue as such. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LEPIDOPTERA : ARTHINSECT : PIERIDAE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
