ARTOGEIA MANNII - SOUTHERN SMALL WHITE |
A group
of mixed whites. Dietro Beseno, Trentino.06.04.2014. In the r.h. photo
P.manii are the 2 whites on the right with their wings open. |
|
The
black wing tip marking extending down the outer edge of the wing to
vein 3-4, and the post-discal black spot, which is slightly concave on
the outer edge, point to the Southern Small White (manii) rather than
the ordinary Small White (rapae), which has a grey wing tip marking
that extends further inwards rather than downwards. Rapae's post-discal
spot is also grey and rounder. |
