Pyropteron triannuliformis is a moth of the Sesiidae family. It is found from most of Europe (except Ireland, Great Britain, the Iberian Peninsula, the Benelux, Denmark and Fennoscandia)[2] to the Near East and Central Asia.[3]

The wingspan is 14–20 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July.[4]

The larvae feed on the roots of Rumex species (including Rumex acetosella, Rumex acetosa, Rumex crispus, Rumex palustris and Rumex conglomeratus) as well as Geranium sanguineum.[5]
