Sphingidae, Macroglossinae, Philampelini, Eumorpha vitis vitis. Not so far away with Eumorpha fasciatus, the differences are only mince. Note the different markings at the upper margin of the forewings and the only 3 tiny lines in yours and Eumopha vitis, whereas Eumorpha fasciatus has more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eumorpha_vitis_sjh.JPG http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/evitivit.htm Eumorpha fasciatus for comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eumorpha_fasciatus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eumorpha_fasciatus_in_Colonia_(Uruguay).jpg
