| Notes : |
| Very similar in pattern to Delias leucias, this species is to be distinguished by the pinkish hue to the central patch on the underside hindwing. However, in some races, this colour can be the same as for Delias leucias. On these occasions, it is necessary to check the shape of the red markings on the sub-anal patch, which is longer and thinner in D.rosamontana. |
