Angonyx testacea is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found in Nepal, northern India, the Andaman Islands, Myanmar, southern China, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia (Peninsular, Sarawak), Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan) and Philippines (Palawan, Luzon). The isolated population in southern India and Sri Lanka is a separate species, namely Angonyx krishna.[2]
The wingspan is 54–64 mm. There are several generations per year in Hong Kong, with adults on wing from mid February to early July, and again from late August to early January, with peaks in April, June, mid October and late November.
The larvae have been recorded on Strychnos nux-vomica in India.[3]
