Eupyrrhoglossum venustum |
Eupyrrhoglossum venustum is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from tropical and subtropical lowlands in Brazil.[2]
The length of the forewings is about 31 mm. It is similar to Eupyrrhoglossum corvus, but the forewing upperside has seven transverse black lines and there is a pale yellow band with diffuse edges on the hindwing upperside. Furthermore, the underside of the thorax is paler yellow. The median band of the hindwing upperside is greenish-yellow.
Adults are probably on wing year round.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae species, including Guettarda macrosperma and Chomelia spinosa.
