Similar species:
Xenotrachea chrysochlora MON Part 1, Pl. 15/26.
Numerous other Xenotrachea species but none with as extensive white on disc.

RS: Some variation does exist but I agree that the white discal patch seems to be unique and prominent in this species.
YS: Agreed, X. irrorata has some white patches, but nothing as extensive
