Delias bakeri is a butterfly in the Pieridae family. It was described by George Hamilton Kenrick in 1909. It is found in New Guinea (Arfak Mountains).[2]
The wingspan is about 47-50 mm. The forewings of the males have a white area reaching beyond the end of the cell to a variable extent, its edge nearly straight from vein 4 to the inner margin and farther from the the tornus than in Delias mesoblema. The hindwings have a narrow black border between veins 4-6. Females have a black margin on both wings which is much wider than in males. The forewings have two white subapical dots.[3]
