Eudocima is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae with numerous tropical species. The genus was first erected by by Gustaf Johan Billberg in 1820[1][2] and in the past species in the genus have been placed under a variety of other generic names. Adult moths in the genus are known for puncturing and feeding on the juices of fruits, because of which they are considered as pests by horticulturists.
