Eudocima iridescens (Lucus, 1894) (Figs 8: E–F, 18: K, 23: R–S, 30: K, 94: J–L) Eudocima iridescens is strongly sexually dimorphic with females having a dorsal forewing green transverse band coming to a point at the distal end. It has no hindwing medial patch, separating it from E. homaena but not from all specimens of E. caesar. It can be separated from E. caesar by the hindwing marginal band extending to the inner margin, versus extending slightly beyond vein Cu 2 in E. caesar. Also, E. iridescens has a black tipped orange dorsal abdomen, whereas the dorsal abdomen is orange throughout in E. caesar and E. homaena (Zilli et al. 2017). It is known from New Guinea and Queensland, Australia, along with a number of surrounding islands.
