Notes on Delias butterflies of Sabah

Sabah has been strongly deforested (mainly for palm oil) as the rest of Borneo island. But there are still few good mountainous spots to find rare Delias butterflies.

Until now, 9 Delias taxa have been found on Sabah but there is no real rarities even if Delias cinerascens and Delias eumolpe are not so common in collection.
