First Comment by Mr/Mrs. Leslie Day :

"What you have there is, I strongly believe, a well marked specimen of Delias
pasithoe goda (male). As I do not have an y photos of this subspecies, I
checked the description of this subspecies in the 'Delias Bible' (Monograph
of the Pierine Genus Delias, Volume 6, by Joicey & Talbot' and it matches
exactly, the yellow hindwing stripes of this subspecies are often complete
in spaces 5 & 6, as with your photos, unlike most other subspecies of D.
pasithoe. " (June 6th, 2009)
