Eumorpha satellitia subsp. posticatus (Grote, 1865)

More similar to Eumorpha mirificatus and Eumorpha strenua than Eumorpha satellitia satellitia and Eumorpha satellitia licaon. Upperside pattern of body and wings much more well-defined and vivid than Eumorpha satellitia satellitia. Abdomen with a narrow but distinct, continuous dorsal band running posteriad from segment 2. Forewing upperside with the dark patch midway along posterior margin triangular (rather than rhombiform as in Eumorpha satellitia satellitia); a broad pale postmedial band running from the posterior margin, parallel to the outer margin before curving to the costa anteriorly (reminiscent of Eumorpha vitis vitis but without the pale band running from the wing base to the postmedial band). Hindwing upperside with inner margin pink (as in Eumorpha analis) not brown (as in Eumrpha satellitia satellitia; the series of black submarginal spots between CuA1 and 1A continued towards costa as a distinct submarginal line.
