Delias woodi

Delias woodi belongs to Pieridae and is treated within the pasithoe group. [1][2]

Woodi has compact wing proportions and clearly defined forewing markings in comparison with related pasithoe-group species. [2]

The nominate population is recorded from Mount Apo, colini from Mount Kitanglad and tboli from Mount Parker on Mindanao. A further living-adult record is from Mount Talomo, Davao, on 14 April 2018. [2]

Talbot described woodi in 1928 from Mount Apo material. Schröder named colini in 1977, and Schröder and Treadaway named tboli in 1984. All three are included in Treadaway’s Philippine checklist. [2][4]

The illustrations retain the compact wing outline and distinct forewing markings.

Keep the enclosure away from direct sunlight, dampness and large changes in temperature or humidity. Handle the frame, clean only its exterior, and inspect for loose fragments, moisture and pests. Retain the specimen’s original labels and follow the enclosure maker’s care instructions. [3]
