Eumorpha triangulum is a moth of the family Sphingidae.
It is found throughout Latin America; namely Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and possibly south-eastern Paraguay. [2]
The wingspan is 99–119 mm for males and 103–130 mm for females. It is similar to Eumorpha anchemolus , but the forewing upperside pattern is more contrasting and variegated. There is a prominent discal spot found on the greenish buff basal area of the hindwing upperside.
Adults are on wing year round.
The larvae feed on Saurauia montana and Cissus rhombifolia , as well as Actinidiaceae species. They have a well-developed anal horn in the first instar, becoming less prominent as the larvae develop.
