The Nilgiri Clouded Yellow is a small butterfly native to southern India. It belongs to the family Pieridae, wherein it is a member of the "yellows and sulfurs" subfamily Coliadinae.
There is some dispute whether it ought to be included in the Eastern Pale Clouded Yellow (C. erate) as a subspecies Colias erate nilagiriensis, or treated as a distinct species Colias nilagiriensis.[citation needed]
