The wingspan is about 45 mm. The forewings of the males are similar to those of Delias nysa, with a brownish-black costal border and distal area. The distal area is distant from the end of the cell and is angled in cellule 4 and also in 3. There are some indistinct submarginal spots. The hindwings have black marginal vein-spots on veins 2-6, and slight black dusting between them. The forewings of the females have a white proximal half as in Delias momea, but the outer edge is more indented on veins 2 and 3. There is a white postcellular bar of three spots, as well as five small submarginal spots. The hindwings have a broad black marginal border which is not as sharply defined as in momea. There is also a grey-white marginal line produced in cellules 3-5, to form small triangular spots, and in cellule 6 to a streak. The base of the forewings and basal area of the hindwings is dusted with black.[3]
