Dismorphia amphione, the tiger mimic white, is a species of butterfly of the family Pieridae. It is found from Mexico and the Caribbean down to Brazil and Bolivia. The wingspan is about 77 mm. It is an extremely variable species.
The larvae feed on Inga species, including I. sapindoides and I. densiflora. Dismorphia amphione mimics the ithomiine butterflies of the genus Mechanitis (M. lysimnia, M. polymnia, M. mazaeus, M. menapis) in colour pattern and in the slow regular flight. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tiger Mimic-White is recorded against all the insects logged in Lago de Yojoa (12 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
