The Sahyadri Clipper (Parthenos sylvia virens) is a regional subspecies of the Clipper butterfly native to the evergreen and montane moist evergreen forests of the Western Ghats in India.

It is a fast and powerful flyer with a stiff wing-flapping style (alternating between horizontal and slightly below) combined with intermittent gliding.
