Cephonodes trochilus
Diagnostic description:
Very similar to Cephonodes tamsi but distinguishable by the brownish rather than reddish upperside to the abdomen. Upperside of head, thorax and wing bases unicolorous green; abdomen uniformly brownish. Foretibia lacking an apical claw. Underside of palps whitish, thorax and abdomen uniform orange-yellow, anal tuft yellow, tip orange-brown, laterally partly black.
Male genitalia: Uncus with the curved apical part longer than in Cephonodes virescens, resembling more that of Cephonodes australis. Valves as in Cephonodes australis but the upper lobe of the left valve narrow, intermediate in shape between those of Cephonodes virescens and Cephonodes australis.
