Patia orise

provided by wikipedia EN

Patia orise is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is found from Costa Rica to Brazil and the Guyanas.[2]

Description

It is very similar to Thyridia psidii and Methona confusa, especially in the female. The perfectly transparent wings have a black margin and black median band, which, however, in the male only reaches the middle of the wing on account of the scent-scale on the anterior half of the hindwing.

The wingspan is about 80 mm (3.1 in).[2]

Subspecies

The following subspecies are recognised:[1]

  • Patia orise orise (French Guiana)
  • Patia orise denigrata (Rosenberg & Talbot, 1914) (Peru, Colombia)
