So this guy HAS green eyes??
I just noticed that there are different english names for this one. I guess that the Mountain White is actually the subspecies from Mexico, Central America and Western South America. Yours must be the subspecies Balidia. But I think you might use both names. I would note the Green-eyed White.
I should only know if this guy had green eyes. If yes it is Leptophobia aripa, if not... hmm, than I have a problem. I first thought it was Glutophrissa drusilla, Florida White, which looks almost identical, but without this tiny little black tringular on the hindwing. From this perspective I think there is a little green glim on the eye...
