A survey conducted in Uttarey village, located in the western district of Sikkim, India, has revealed important findings regarding the larval host plants of the Pieris brassicae nepalensis Gray, 1846. This study is particularly noteworthy as it implicates Matthiola incana (L.) W. T. Aiton from the Brassicaceae family and Spinacia oleracea (L.) from the family Chenopodiaceae as new larval host plants for this species. This discovery is the first report of these plants serving as host plants for Pieris brassicae nepalensis Gray, 1846 in India. It adds valuable knowledge to the ecology of the Papilionoidea and expands the known range of larval food sources for this species.
