Pachygonidia caliginosa is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Brazil, Bolivia and Venezuela.^[2]

The wingspan is about 70 mm. The forewings are similar to those of Pachygonidia subhamata, but the apex is pointed. There are two median transverse pinkish-buff bands on the hindwing upperside.

There are probably multiple generations per year with one record from March in Brazil.
