Callionima gracilis is a species of moth in the family Sphingidae. It was originally described by Karl Jordan as Hemeroplanes gracilis in 1923. [1] It is endemic to Cuba. [2]
Adults are probably on wing in multiple generations. In size and colour, it is similar to Callionima grisescens , but with a truncate forewing apex, strongly excavate below, and a larger silver spot on the forewing upperside, clearly divided into two branches. The forewing upperside has the lower branch of the silver spot within a diagnostic ill-defined, longitudinal black band running between the antemedian and submarginal lines through the centre of the wing.
