The wingspan is about 100 mm. It is similar to Protambulyx goeldii , but the forewing is lacking the large discal spot and the submarginal line of the hindwing is crenulated and angled outwards on the veins.

Biology

Adults are on wing in October in Bolivia. In Paraguay, adults have been recorded in June. There are probably at least two generations per year.
