Chaerocina meridionalis

Chaerocina meridionalis is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from highland forests in southern Tanzania and Malawi.[2]

It is similar to Chaerocina dohertyi, but the black band of the hindwing is displaced towards the margin, leaving only a very narrow pink terminal fringe, which is broader and always reaches the apex.
