Range      : woodi - Mt.Apo, Mindanao
colini - Mt.Kitanlad, Mindanao
tboli - Mt.Parket, Mindanao
Notes       :
This species is identifiable by the shape of the wings which a stockier than any other members of the group.

The clarity of the forewing markings also helps to distinguish this rare species, which is confined to the Philippine island of Mindanao.

Talbot, in his Monograph, suggests that this species may only be a form of Delias ottonia. The type specimens were from Mt. Apo, which is an area that seems to provide for a greater than usual number of interesting forms of various species.
