Description
Pierinae: Incertae sedis
De Baar and Hancock (1993) revised the Australian species of Elodina Felder & Felder and, like Klots (1933), treated Elodinesthes Fruhstorfer as a synonym of Elodina. De Baar (2004) subsequently produced an updated list of all lower taxa assigned to Elodina.
Stoneham (1940) erected the monotypic genus Pseudohuphina Stoneham to accommodate the species Belenois raffrayi Oberthür, but this proposal has subsequently been ignored by modern authorities (e.g. Bernardi 1953; Larsen 1991; Ackery et al. 1995). Bernardi (1953) described Pseudanaphaeis Bernardi as a subgenus of Belenois and included two Afrotropical species in it, but Ackery et al. (1995) treated Pseudanaphaeis as a synonym of Belenois. van Son (1949) and Ackery et al. (1995) also regarded Anaphaeis Hübner, treated as a subgenus of Belenois by Klots (1933), as a synonym of Belenois.
