Description
Eudocima kuehni (Pagenstecher, 1886)
(Figs 11: A–B, 20: A, 31: J, 95: C)
This large sexually dimorphic species has no medial patch. The outer margin of the hindwing is the least convex of all Eudocima species. The male is unique among Eudocima by having two conspicuous white patches in the discal cell on the otherwise blackish forewing. The female dorsal forewing has a lighter grey background color with prominent contrasting dark patches and banding. Both forewing and hindwing outer margins are more crenulate in the more variegated female. Zilli et al. (2017) record it from Seram, Kei islands, New Guinea, Supiori Island, Rook Island, New Britain, Goodenough Island and Ferusson Island.
