Notes         :
Once considered to be a subspecies of the Papua New Guinea species Delias aroae, this has now been given specific status. Differs by having a greater amount of white on the cell of the underside forewing.

Original Description: Talbot 1928(Bulletin Hill Mus. 2. pt.1) Male: Not very different from the typical British New Guinea subspecies (D.aroae), with which it agrees on the upperside. Underside of fore wing with the submarginal dots below vein 4 less strongly marked. Hind wing with the cell-spot and submarginal spots smaller.

Female: Similar to the male. Hind wing below with discal band narrower than in the aroae female and not reaching the inner margin.
