Delias bakeri

Description

Delias bakeri is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It was described by George Hamilton Kenrick in 1909. It is found in New Guinea (Arfak Mountains). The wingspan is about 47–50 mm. The forewings of the males have a white area reaching beyond the end of the cell to a variable extent, its edge nearly straight from vein 4 to the inner margin and farther from the tornus than in Delias mesoblema. The hindwings have a narrow black border between veins 4-6. Females have a black margin on both wings which is much wider than in males. The forewings have two white subapical dots.
