1. The present paper supports the Klots' opinion (1930) to distinguish Anthocharis Boisdvral from Euchtoe Hiibner. However the generotype of Euchloe Hbn. is not belia Cramer but esperi K rby according to Hemming (1934). The correct generic name for cardamines L. and scolymus Buler is Anthocharis Boisduval. 2. Scolymus Btlr. must be transferred from subgenus Falcapica Klots to Anthocharis (s. str.) because of close resemblances with cardcmines L. in male genitalia and in type of pattern. The wing shape can not be worth good r ason of subgeneric separation at least in this case. 3. Distributions of Anthocharis-species in Japan are mentioned in the text.
