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 : 20

Eudocima mionopastea ( Hampson, 1926)

( Figs 14 : A–B, 20: J, 26: E, 32: B)

The hindwings are very similar to E. sikhimensis ; however the forewing apex is not falcate, the forewing color is predominately bright rufous rather than olive, and the third segment of the palpi is shorter and less spatulate. The greenish forewing mottling is similar to E. bathyglypta but the tornal hook and anal flap are much less pronounced. This rare species is found in peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo ( Zilli & Hogenes 2002).
