The wingspan is 54–62 mm for males and 54–64 mm for females. It is very similar to Callionima falcifera but smaller and with a paler, more uniform, less contrasting forewing and hindwing upperside pattern. The dark patch on the anal area of the hindwing upperside is brown and weakly developed.[2]
The species flies in at least early November in Balsas, Peru.[3]
The larvae possibly feed on Aspidosperma macrocarpa or other Apocynaceae species.
