Eumorpha cissi is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found from Venezuela south to Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and north-western Argentina.[2]
It is similar to Eumorpha anchemolus but the upperside ground colour is dark greenish-grey and the forewing apex is more falcate. Furthermore, there is a stronger pattern of dark transverse lines and bands on the forewing upperside.
Adults have been recorded from February to March and from October to November in Bolivia.
The larvae probably feed on grape and vine species.
