Gonepteryx mahaguru, the lesser brimstone, is a medium-sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the yellows and whites. It is native to the Kashmir, Uttarakhand, China, Korea, and Japan.
Though there has historically been confusion regarding whether G. mahaguru and G. aspasia are different species – exacerbated by the fact that Ménétriès's 1859 description of G. aspasia received widespread recognition while Gistel's earlier 1857 description of G. mahaguru was unknown to his contemporaries – they have since been determined to be different species.
