Delias salvini

Description

Delias salvini is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1882. It is endemic to New Britain (Australasian realm). The name honours Osbert Salvin. The wingspan is about 57–62 mm. The pattern of the underside of the hindwings is similar to Delias bagoe, but it can be easily identified by the fact that the apical area of the forewings, on both sides, is white as opposed to yellow.
