Patia orise is a butterfly in the Pieridae family. It is found from Costa Rica to Brazil and the Guyanas.
It is very similar to Thyridia psidii and Methona confusa, especially in the female. The perfectly transparent wings have a black margin and black median band, which, however, in the male only reaches the middle of the wing on account of the scent-scale on the anterior half of the hindwing.
The wingspan is about 80 mm (3.1 in).
The following subspecies are recognised:
