Eudocima boseae (Saalmüller, 1880)

(Figs 9: E–F, 19: C, 24: J–L, 31: A, 92: D)

This is a sexually dimorphic species with a banded black, red and yellow abdomen unique to the genus. It is one of only two Eudocima where the dorsal hindwing medial patch is fused with the marginal band; the other species, E. imperator, has an orange dorsal abdomen and a checkered hindwing fringe like other African Eudocima . Eudocima boseae is the only Old World Eudocima species with a double medial patch, although this condition occurs in several New World species including E. memorans, E. collusoria, E. colubra, and E. sepentifera . The female has a narrow green transverse band which is not found in any New World taxa. It is endemic to Madagascar.
