Callionima acuta is a species of moth in the family Sphingidae, which is known from Peru and Bolivia. It was originally described by Rothschild and Jordan as Hemeroplanes acuta, in 1910.[1]
Males have a wingspan of about 32 millimetres. The species is similar to Callionima parce, but is darker in colour. The forewing upperside ground colour is blackish-brown. The hindwing underside has a median line and a line of dots in the outer half.
Adults are probably on wing in multiple generations.[2]
