features

The base on the top of the forewing of the moth is black or nearly black. The transparent disc cell is not divided lengthways by a scaled line. With the exception of those at the apex of the disc cell, the transverse arteries are not more scaled than the cubital artery. The inner edge of the marginal band is straight or serrated. The base on the top of the hind wings is also black or almost black. The front half of the abdomen is more or less colored black on the back and stands out clearly from the rear, yellow-orange segments. The rails ( tibia ) of the hind legs are black with the exception of the base. The species looks very similar to Hemaris ottonis , but this species differs mainly in light stripes on the sides of the thorax .
