Eudocima okurai ( Okano, 1964)

( Figs 14 : C–D, 21: E, 26: L–N, 32: E, 93: E)

The PM and apical lines are fused across from the reniform creating the appearance of a single oblique line abruptly bending towards the inner margin. In E. tyrannus , E. aurantia and E. sikhimensis there is no distinct bend in this line across from the reniform. The forewing has a distinctly less pronounced tornal hook and has more green flecks versus E. tyrannus . The forewings have a less prominent anal flap, and the hindwings have a more distally set hindwing marginal band than either E. tyrannus or E. aurantia ( Bänziger & Honey 1984) . The ventral marginal hindwing band is clearly separated at the veins compared to the continuous band in E. tyrannus . Eudocima okurai is found in the southeastern Himalayas, northeast India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, northwest Malaysia at elevations of 1200–1700 m ( Bänziger & Honey 1984) and Vietnam.
