Similar to Hippotion celerio but larger and immediately distinguishable by the black basal abdominal patches and the undivided pink medial band on the hindwing upperside. Antenna of male very stout compared to female. Abdomen with two pairs of subdorsal black patches. Forewing upperside similar to Hippotion celerio but oblique postmedial band more evenly curved. Hindwing upperside with pink medial band undivided or with only traces of black scaling along the veins.
Male genitalia: Uncus as stout as in Hippotion celerio. Gnathos as stout as but much more gradually narrowed to a point than in Hippotion celerio, and rather obtuse. Harpe compressed, slightly upcurved at extreme apex, which is rounded ventrally; dorsal edge notched. Phallus apical process with a rather long and weakly curved row of teeth on the left side and a single subapical tooth on the right.
Records from Israel, Lebanon and Spain are considered to be migrants or strays. Specimens from Mauritania and Algeria may be.
