Callionima grisescens is a species of moth in the family Sphingidae. It was originally described by Rothschild as Calliomma grisescens, in 1894. [1]
Adults probably fly in multiple generations. In Bolivia, adults have been found from May to December, from November to December in Argentina. [2]
Adults eclose from pupae formed in flimsy cocoons among leaf litter.
They are dimorphic. The forewing ground colour is pale bluish-grey or orange-brown, the latter somewhat resembling small specimens of Callionima calliomenae . The apex of the forewing is pointed. The outer margin is not dentate or with only a vestigial teeth which is slightly concave below apex. The forewing upperside has a black (often indistinct) median band crossing the wing just basal to the narrow transversely oriented silver spots. The hindwing upperside is very similar to Callionima parce , the black and white anal patch is heavy, the space around it grey.
