Macroglossum belis
Similar to Macroglossum vacillans, but distinguished by the absence of a yellow patch from the 4th abdominal segment, and the much paler yellow band of the hindwing. Antenna with terminal segment about as long as subterminal 5 together. Abdomen upperside with 3 separate, cadmium-yellow lateral patches, the 1st the smallest, transverse; 5th segment with a lateral dark brown or black patch, repeated dorso-laterally on the 6th, and mesially on the 7th; tips of side tufts white. Palp white with some brown scales. Underside of thorax and legs russet-wood-brown, middle of prosternum more grey. Abdomen underside clayish cinnamon-rufous, the basal sternite and a large indistinct mesial apical patch on 2nd and 3rd segments russet-wood-brown. Forewing upperside with 2 antemedial lines, slightly converging anteriorly, the space between them filled, but the band not prominent; 1st and 2nd discal lines evenly curved costad anteriorly, the 2nd the heavier, the space between them partly filled with dark scaling, especially anteriorly, the lines straight or slightly incurved posteriorly; dark subapical patches not prominent; grey costal space sharply limited at its proximal side by vein M1. Underside of both wings hazel-chestnut, rather brighter than the abdomen. Hindwing upperside medial band cadmium-yellow; base and distal border blackish-brown, the border less deep in colour along the median band. Hindwing underside inner area cadmium-yellow.
Male genitalia: Very similar to those of Macroglossum vacillans, but valve with stridulatory scales.
