Delias mesoblema | |
Delias mesoblema is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It was described by Karl Jordan in 1912. It is found in the Indomalayan realm, [2] where it has only been recorded from Mount Goliath in Irian Jaya.
The wingspan is about 44–48 mm. The forewings of the males have a white area, which is usually extended well beyond the end of the cell. Its outer edge is well defined and formed as in Delias iltis , but without any angle. The costa is black to the base and there are one or two subapical dots. The hindwings are white with a black fringe. In females, the white area is reduced and sometimes tinged with yellow. The hindwings have a black marginal border of nearly even width. This border may sometimes bear a row of five white spots, the two anterior ones more distinct than the others. [3]
