Delias lara

Delias lara is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It was described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1836. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is about 60–70 mm. Adults are very similar to Delias mysis, but the subapical spots on the upperside of the forewings are white, quite poorly developed and sometimes absent. Furthermore, the subapical spots on the underside of the forewings are yellow and somewhat larger.
