A diagnosis of this Madagascar endemic species is covered in the E. afrikana description. Other Madagascar Eudocima include E. imperator and E. boseae , but in each of those species the hindwing medial patch is fused with the marginal band. Eudocima boseae is much smaller and lacks the orange dorsal abdomen. It could also be confused with E. lequeuxi but that species is only found on mainland Africa.
