The sexes are considerably dimorphic, with the male having hyaline wings and the female having totally opaque forewings, dark brown with pale yellow to white toward the wing tips. The male has a slender body, dark with blue­green sheen and with a somewhat elongate, divided anal tuft. The female body is robust and dull dark brown. The male thorax has much orange to orange red laterally, and the head has white on the labial palps, both characters lacking on the female.</p><p>Redescription. Male (Fig. 10).

Legs with white on most of forecoxa, laterally on basal half of fore­ and mid­tibiae, slight mixed dorsally on medial tuft of hind tibia and dorsally at joints of tarsal segments. Forewing mostly hyaline, with narrow discal spot, broad to narrow apical margin; apical and anal margins often variously, lightly powdering pale yellow. Hindwing hyaline, no discal spot.

In the Neotropics the color pattern described above for female angarodes (dark opaque forewings with whitish scaling apically) is a repeating pattern seen in other species of Sesiidae in all three subfamilies and in different genera within a subfamily (see Discussion of Sophona leucoteles (Clarke) in Eichlin 1986:345).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/BC6F878CFF9E2234EF3CFA54B2EBF90F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
