| Notes : |
| This is a larger species than both Delias periboea and Delias fasciata, to which it bears a superficial resemblance. It is thought to be a very old branch of the periboea stock. The absence of any red discal spot would indicate that it is a precursor of Delias caeneus, periboea and mysis. |
