Eudocima tyrannus best distinguished by the shape of the hindwing black discal spot (comma) and the black postdiscal swirl. In sikhimensis the black discal spot has both ends of the comma a similiar size, in tyrannus the upper half tends to be larger. In tyrannus the end of the black postdiscal swirl tends to blur much more towards the margin of the hindwing then sikhimensis.
