The Tenerife Green-striped White Butterfly is endemic to Tenerife. It was previously classed as a subspecies of the Green-striped White (E. belemia) native to northern and eastern Africa and Arabia and an occasional migrant to southern Iberian peninsula. In 2009 the Canary Island subspecies were made full, separate species. Those above were in Tenerife at relatively high altitude. It is a small butterfly with wingspan around 40mm.
