'''''Eudocima''''' is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae with numerous tropical species. The genus was first categorised by Gustaf Johan Billberg in 1820,<ref name=afd>{{Cite web|title=Australian Faunal Directory ''Eudocima''|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Eudocima|access-date=2022-01-18|website=biodiversity.org.au|language=en}}</ref><ref>Billberg, G.J. 1820. [https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/33665751 Enumeratio Insectorum in Museo Gustave Johann Billberg.] Stockholm : Typis Gadelianis 4 unnumbered + 138 pp. [In Latin] [85]</ref> and species currently in the genus have been placed under a range of other genera in the past. 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.
