Delias Hyparete Itohi first identify by Nakano 1993 and it discovere at Simeulue Island, Aceh Province, Indonesia. So that why its really surprise when we find the same pattern wing of butterfly as sama as with the subspecies from Simeulue Island. If this subspecies endemik in Simeulue Island and thats photo above is not Delias Hyparete Itohi, so must be that butterfly at photo above to be new sub species Delias Hyparete from rejang land. If any body expert about butterfly please give us comment :).
