Delias bothwelli Kenrick, 1909


New Guinea, Arfak Mountains
Males forewings have a reduced white area which does not extend beyond the end of the cell and sometimes scarcely above vein 3. The hindwings have a black border between the costa and vein 3 with bluish-grey proximal scaling, especially posteriorly.
Females have much broader black areas, the forewings with a small and somewhat ovate creamy-white patch not reaching the base. There are two white subapical dots. The hindwing border is well defined from the costa to vein 3, and below this vein the border is grey and wider.
