Dismorphia thermesia, the pretty mimic white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is found in Guyana, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and western Bolivia. The habitat consists of transitional rainforests and cloudforests.[2]
The wingspan is about 50–57 mm (2.0–2.2 in)[3] Adult males have a prominent black bar on the upperside of the forewings, extending from the basal area to the end of the discal cell. Females lack this bar and have more rounded wings.[2]
