It could be one of the many described forms of Heliconius melpomene, a quite common butterfly of tropical houses and collections.

They don't seem to have enough black on the wings to be Large White so I would say they were Small Whites, John.

Thanks Anne! I don't usually have trouble with Whites but these two have had me baffled.
