Notes  
(1) List of the genera found in the Western Palearctic: Anthocharis Boisduval, Rambur & Graslin, [1833] ; Euchloe Hübner, [1819] ; Zegris Boisduval, 1836.  
(2) List of the genera not found in the Western Palearctic: Eroessa Doubleday, [1847] ; Hesperocharis Felder, 1862 ; …  
(3) Is the correct spelling Anthocharini or Anthocharidini? The first taxon is formed from the Latin root of the type genus Anthocharis, that is, Anthochar-, followed by the tribal suffix -ini. The ICZN Code gives exceptions related to complex Latin grammar. Even though, for grammatical reasons stipulated in the ICZN Code, the root should be Anthocharid-, Article 29.5 of this Code provides for the retention of the predominantly used spellings. However, Anthocharini has been used by all recent systematists dealing with European fauna: Higgins, 1975; Leraut, 1997; Vives Moreno, 1994.
