Transferred to Manduca by Hodges, 1971, in Dominick et al., Moths Amer. N. of Mexico21: 29 (key), 35.

Structurally very similar to Manduca lichenea. Individual variation means identification is not always easy. Forewing with a greenish tint in fresh specimens, which can fade to clayish yellow; black discal streaks between veins M3 and CuA2 always very prominent against the pale ground colour, unlike in Manduca lichenea.
