Delias periboea

MORPHOLOGY

External characteristics

Male 
Wingspan (mm): 62 - 74 (DBpedia, n.d.).
Forewings: The forewing upper side has white coloured submarginal spots (Pequin, 2021). Hindwings The hindwing underside has a tiny red coloured subcellular spot (Pequin, 2021).

Female  
The females generally have a different underside wing surface than the males, by being darker with broader margins on both wings (D'Abrera, 1982). The female is on the upper side wing surface dusted with dark brown scales and has blackened veins (Yata and Morishita, 1979).  

Subspecies and variation

 
Seven subspecies are described (Pequin, 2021).

Similar species

This species is similar to Delias hyparete and Delias argenthrona, but can be distinguished by no blackening of the veins in the yellow area of the hindwing underside (Yata and Morishita, 1979).
