TL: New Guinea
Males are white, the forewings with a diffuse inner edge along the black marginal border, its edge but slightly produced at vein 4. There are two small white subapical spots. The hindwings have a narrow black marginal border becoming more narrow from vein 4 to the costa.
Females resemble Delias enniana, but the postcellular white bar is narrower, isolated and extending only to vein 5, and the white proximal area reaches vein 4. There are two yellowish subapical spots, which are usually indistinct. The hindwings are tinged creamy-white and there is a black marginal border.
