It has no hindwing medial patch, separating it from E. homaena but not from all specimens of E. caesar . It can be separated from E. caesar by the hindwing marginal band extending to the inner margin, versus extending slightly beyond vein Cu 2 in E. caesar . Also, E. iridescens has a black tipped orange dorsal abdomen, whereas the dorsal abdomen is orange throughout in E. caesar and E. homaena ( Zilli et al . 2017 ) . It is known from New Guinea and Queensland , Australia , along with a number of surrounding islands.
