Delias singhapura is a butterfly in the family Pieridae.It was described by Alfred Russel Wallace in 1867. It is found in the Indomalayan realm.[2]

The wingspan is about 82–86 mm. Male are white, with black veins on the forewings for the greater part, and on the hindwings distally. The forewings have a blackish apical area reaching the cell. The hindwings have a narrow blackish marginal border from the anal angle to cellule 3, and small blackish marginal marks on veins 3-5. Females are similar to the males, but the apical area of the forewings is more rounded and the upperside is more strongly clouded with black.[3]
