Both H. discordata and H. ephestris show a pronounced yellow blotch on the hindwings that is absent in H. luteoradiata. The yellow transversal band on the forewing is narrower than in H. ephestris, and it does not reach the outer margin of the wing. Furthermore, the yellow blotch on the hindwing is much broader.[1]
