Pseudopieris nehemia

Fairly common up to 1500 m. Attracted to mud; visits flowers. I don't know which subspecies occur(s) in Cusco; the individuals shown from San Martin and Oventeni may represent different subspecies.

Similar species: V ground colour usualy white, but some may be yellowish like P. viridula. On viridula, the lowest diagonal vein near FW costa very closely approaches the costal vein; on nehemia they are well-separated.
