Several, see text Leptosia, commonly called wood whites, is a genus of pierid butterflies.

It is the only genus of the tribe Leptosiaini.

[1] Leptosia are found in Africa, except for Leptosia nina, which ranges from India to Australia, and Leptosia lignea, which is found only on Sulawesi.

All have a frail appearance and broad rounded wings.

They are only distantly related to the Palearctic wood whites Leptidea (Dismorphiinae).
