Notes on Delias schoenigi :

A discovery from the 1970s, with all five subspecies to be found only on the Philippine island of Mindanao. They each inhabit separate mountain areas, and do not overlap. This isolation from each other is probably the reason for the slight differentiations between the subspecies.

I have be told of a specimen being found on Negros, but I am awaiting further details
