Enyo bathus is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Peru and Bolivia.

It is similar to Enyo gorgon and Enyo taedium taedium , but there are no patches of woolly scaling on the abdomen. The forewing upperside is intermediate in pattern between these two species. The anterior half of the wing has a dark brown, median, longitudinal line that diverges apically to form a dark brown triangular patch. The line is followed by a marginal pale brown half-moon shaped patch.

There are probably two to three generations per year. [2]
