Colias nilagiriensis

Wikipedia Abstract

The Nilgiri clouded yellow is a small butterfly native to southern India. It belongs to the family Pieridae, wherein it is a member of the "yellows and sulfurs" subfamily Coliadinae. There is some dispute whether it ought to be included in the eastern pale clouded yellow (C. erate) as a subspecies Colias erate nilagiriensis, or treated as a distinct species Colias nilagiriensis.
