Transferred to Nyceryx by Boisduval, [1875], in: Boisduval & Guenée, Hist. nat. Insectes (Species général des Lépid. Hétérocères) 1: 16.
The largest species of the genus, immediately distinguishable by the semitransparent spots in the distal half of the forewing and the pink hindwing upperside with three transverse black bands. Basal half of forewing underside with numerous conspicuous yellow spots. Hindwing upperside ground colour pink, with three transverse black bands (similar to those found in Adhemarius gannascus and allied species). Tegumen, uncus and gnathos broad, uncus and gnathos processes comparatively short, resembling those of Nyceryx continua; uncus processes rather club-shaped in lateral view. Harpe short, sinuate, upper lobe a little projecting, rounded.Juxta armature symmetrical, no processes but a rather high ventral rounded ridge on each side; the membrane surrounding the juxta dorsally and laterally forming a kind of hairy mantle. Aedeagus with a whip bearing few setae; ridge on left side not prominent, also with few setae; ridge on right side with four setae.
