Adult females are similar to Delias cinerascens, but the forewings with a more extended proximal white area only dusted with black at the base, the postcellular spots larger and the lower one joined to the spot in 3. The submarginal spots are well marked, four are subapical, the others in 2 and 3 large with slight distal projection. The hindwings have a more extended and lighter proximal area than in cinerascens.[3]
