Abstract

The Large White butterfly (Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758)) originally from the Palaearctic and previously introduced to South Africa and Chile is detected on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The records correspond to all stages of the life cycle: eggs, caterpillars, pupa and adults. Caterpillars were found feeding on Tropaeolum majus. The introduction is likely to have occurred from mainland Chile, as the species has not been reported in French Polynesia. A dark green coloration present on the underside of the wings is congruent with the one reported from the Chilean population. The origin of colonisation still remains to be tested using molecular tools.

复活节岛Rapa Nui(复活节岛)的大白蝶(林奈，1758)(鳞翅目，蝶科)Detection

大白蝶（Pieris brassicae，林奈，1758）原产于古北界，以前被引入南非和智利，在拉帕努伊（复活节岛）被发现。这些记录对应了生命周期的所有阶段：卵、毛虫、蛹和成虫。人们发现毛毛虫以马齿苋为食。这种引入很可能发生在智利大陆，因为法属波利尼西亚还没有该物种的报告。翅膀下面的深绿色与智利种群的报告一致。殖民的起源仍有待于使用分子工具进行测试。
