Adult Description: The easiest species in the genus to identify. This is a small gray moth with forewings measuring 17-21mm in length. The forewings are plain gray, and the hindwings are a slightly darker shade of gray-brown. There is a dark streak that runs through part of the forewing starting at the basal area. Due to its gray coloration and small size, it is unlikely to be mistaken for any other member of the genus let alone other Sphingidae found in the USA.

Larval Description: Currently unknown.
