Eupanacra variolosa is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from north-eastern India, Bangladesh, south-western China, Thailand, Malaysia (Peninsular, Sarawak) and Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan).[2]
The wingspan is 56–80 mm. It is similar to Eupanacra busiris atima except for differences in the forewing outer margin and the trajectory of the antemedian lines on the forewing upperside. There is a short, narrow and pale median band on the hindwing upperside.
The larvae feed on Scindapsus pictus and Scindapsus aureus in Thailand.
