Leuciacria


Leuciacria is a genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae.
The under surface of the forewing is slightly glossy and the cell of the forewing almost imperceptibly tinged with yellow. Hindwing as in most Elodina with yellow, sharply defined costal margin. The black apical margin of the upper surface is feebly transparent. Leuciacria acuta was discovered by Albert Stewart Meek at an elevation of over 6000 ft. in British New Guinea.
