Callionima calliomenae is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Venezuela, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.[2]
The wingspan is about 67 mm. It is immediately distinguishable from all other Callionima species by the regularly dentate outer forewing margin that is only slightly excavate below the apex and the dark yellow basal half to the hindwing upperside.
There are probably multiple generations per year.
