Madeiran large white Possibly extinct subspecies of butterfly

The Madeiran large white is a subspecies of the large white, endemic to Madeira. It can reach a size of 55 to 65 millimetres. The wings are pure white with a wide black tip on the apexes of the forewings. Its natural habitat is the laurisilva laurel forest. Considering that it was last collected in 1977 but not found despite a 15-year survey during the 1980s and 1990s, it might be either extremely rare or possibly extinct. One reason for its decline might be a virus infection which brought out after the small white was introduced to Madeira in the 1950s. Another reason for the decline is due to the introduction of the wasp parasitoid. The wasp parasitoid was last discovered in the western Canary Islands in May 2006. It uses pieridae as a host and is commonly found where pieridae species are in abundance. The scientific name commemorates Thomas Vernon Wollaston, an entomologist who has discovered several insect taxa on Madeira.
