Callionima juliane is a species of moth in the family Sphingidae, which is known from Peru. It was described by Eitschberger in 2000.[1]
The wingspan is 54–62 mm for males and 54–64 mm for females. It is very similar to Callionima falcifera but smaller and with a paler, more uniform, less contrasting forewing and hindwing upperside pattern. The dark patch on the anal area of the hindwing upperside is brown and weakly developed.[2]
The larvae possibly feed on Aspidosperma macrocarpa or other Apocynaceae species.
