Eudocima materna

Description

Eudocima materna (Linnaeus, 1767)

(Figs 9: C–D, 19: B, 24: G–I, 30: P, 95: H–I)

This species with the thinner hindwing marginal band can be diagnosed from the very similar E. apata as discussed under that species above. The vast range of E. materna includes Africa, India, the Indoaustralian region up to the Central Pacific and the Philippines (Zilli et al. 2017).
