Mylothris asphodelus is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is found in eastern Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, north-western Tanzania and possibly Angola.[2] The habitat consists of lowland forests. Mylothris asphodelus, like other Mylothris species, occupies the upper portions of forests where the host plants for their larvae are found.
Males have a large yellow basal area and large black apical area on the forewing upperside. On the forewing underside, the basal area is more orange. The female forewing upperside has a large pale orange basal area.
The larvae feed on Agelanthus krausei.
