Name
Description
Description | The No Brand Grass Yellow appears similar to many of its relatives in the genus Eurema, with the main difference in the forewing black borders, where it is regularly scalloped and not deeply excavated between veins 2 and 4 as in the other species. There are no cell spots on the underside of the forewings - a characteristic that is mainly used to identify the lookalike species in the genus. Males do not possess a brand along the cubital vein like in the other species. The undersides of both sexes have more freckled brown spots peppered over the hindwings. The underside of the females are more distinctive in that the hindwings are paler yellow than the forewings. |
