Delias agoranis, the Burmese Jezebel, is a butterfly in the Pieridae family. It was described by Henley Grose-Smith in 1887. It is found in the Indomalayan realm,[2] where it has been recorded from southern Burma and south-western Thailand.
The wingspan is 80-85 mm. Males are white, the forewings with the costa broadly greyish black and similar dusting beyond the end of the cell. The distal margin is broadly black and narrowing posteriorly to the inner margin, not touching the margin below vein 2. There is a series of small white submarginal spots. The hindwings have a series of black triangular marginal spots at the end of the veins, those on vein 2 and vein 3 much larger than the others. Females have brownish-black forewings, with the cell and a streak between the veins dusky white. The hindwings are white with a brownish-black marginal border, and submarginal greyish-white interspaces.[3]
