Wingspan : 56-64 mm
Range        : surprisa C. Sulawesi
Notes         :
Considered by many to be a subspecies of Delias belladonna. This species is to be identified by the greenish-grey base colouring of the upperside, and by the large discal and submarginal spots on the underside hindwing.

The entire group needs a thorough review, and so I am retaining this as a distinct species until further research has been done.
