Pieris balcana, the Balkan green-veined white, is a species of butterfly within the family Pieridae.[2] The species has white upper wings with darkened apex tips. Females contain 2 dark spots on the forewing whereas males only contain 1 that are sometimes absent. The underside of the wings is yellowish with gray scales running along the veines of the wings.[3] The species can be differentiated from the similar Pieris napi from the underside wing gray scales being more spread out and faded, compared to the scales of P. napi being more sharply defined.[3][4]
