TAXONOMY:
Family: Sphingidae, Latreille, 1802 |
I belive this species flies at lower elevation (700m-1300m) as compared to the very similar Euryglottis aper which is a high elevation species.
I also believe there is a diffuse suffusion of yellowish scales between the distinct forewing cell mark and the costa in johannes as opposed to a very distinct, short, yellowish bar in aper. The yellowish apical line is straighter in aper as opposed to the slightly more arched line in johannes in its upper half.
