Borth, Robert J. & Kons, Hugo L., 2022, Mitochondrial genetics of Ophiderini, with a new species from the Eudocima phalonia species group (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Calpinae), Zootaxa 5148 (1), pp. 1-151 : 17

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).
