Ambulyx liturata is a species of moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found from Nepal, north-eastern India (Sikkim and Assam), Burma, Thailand and Vietnam to Fujian and Hong Kong in China.[2]
The wingspan is 106–134 mm. It is similar to Ambulyx maculifera, but can be distinguished by the absence of a subbasal costal patch on the forewing upperside.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Canarium album in China.
