Original description. — Sphinx tiliae, alis angulatis: superioribus 

 griseo fasciatis ; posticis testaceis. Merian, Eur., 2, t. 24. Wilk., Pap., 

 10, t. 1, b. 4. Frisch, Ins., 7, t. 2. Alb., Ins., t. 10. Roes., Ins., \., 

 phal. t. 2. Habitat in Tilia (Linn., Sys. Nat., xth ed., p. 489). [Linne 

 later modifies this to : Sphinx, alis angulatis virescenti-nebulosis 

 saturatius subfasciatis ; posticis supra luteo testaceis (ed. xii., p. 797).] 



Imago. — 56mm. — 71mm. Anterior wings curved at apex ; 

 outer margin somewhat deeply sinuate, the inner margin concave 

 towards anal angle ; rosy-grey in colour, green on the outer area, 

 with a very variable median greenish-brown transverse band ; a 

 submarginal undefined dark band from costa to anal angle, and 

 an ill-developed double basal band ; a white apical patch, some- 

 times continued as an irregular white line to the anal angle. 

 Posterior wings rounded at apex, emarginate on the outer margin, 

 just before the anal angle ; yellowish-grey in colour, with an 

 undefined dark transverse band from apex to anal angle, and a 

 dark basal patch, outer margin sometimes quite yellow-ochreous. 

 Head and thorax of the same hues as forewings; abdomen usually 

 grey-green with rather darker segmental marks.
