Explanation of Names
Callionima falcifera (Gehlen, 1943) is listed as a stray by St Laurent (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023)
(1) with
Callionima parce of authors; (not Fabricius, 1775) as a synonym and true
parce treated as extralimital north of Mexico.
Identification
It seems that a reliable characteristic is examining the apical area of the forewing. In Callionima falcifera, it seems that the area directly between the apical line and outer margin is the same color as the ground color of the wing, and not lighter. In Callionima parce, the area between the apical line and outer margin is lighter. (CATE)
The wings are also generally more falcate.
Range
Central/South America; records from Florida, Arizona
