Delias paoaiensis is a species of pierine butterfly endemic to Cordillera Central Mountains of Luzon, in the Philippines.[1]
The wingspan is 52–56 mm. The species was originally described as a subspecies of Delias nuydaorum, but can be distinguished by the paler yellow marking on the underside of the forewings and hindwings.[2]
