Some notes on Delias bornemanni – nais complex on Papua and Papua New Guinea Mainland (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)

Abstract: Members of the Delias bornemanni – nais complex are widely distributed throughout the central mountains of New Guinea from the Kobowre Mts in the west to the Owen Stanley Range in the east. No less than fifteen taxon names have been used to describe the varieties, of which nine are now considered to be synonyms. A historical account of the taxonomy is presented with additional comments that clarifythe systematics and include the description of a new subspecies of D. nais from the Foja Mts.
Rangkuman: Kupu-kupu Delias termasuk dalam kompleks bornemanni – nais mempunyai distribusi luas di seluruh pegunungan New Guinea, dari Pegunungan Kobowre di bagian barat sampai Stanley Owen Range di bagian timur. Tidak kurang dari lima belas nama takson digunakan untuk mendiskripsikan kupu-kupu itu dengan segala variasinya. Sembilan nama sekarang dianggap telah menjadi sinonim. Seluruh sejarah taksonomis disajikan, dengan komentar tambahan, guna menjelaskan sistematikanya, dan termasuk subspesies baru dari Pegunungan Foja yang dipertelakan di sini.
Keywords: systematics, taxonomy, Delias nais beehleri subsp. nov., Pierinae
