Cissuvora ampelopsis
A North American clearwing moth in the family Sesiidae, described by Engelhardt in 1946. The larva was formally described by MacKay based on a prepupal specimen associated with a positively identified adult, correcting a previous misidentification in earlier literature. The species belongs to a small genus of clearwing moths that typically mimic wasps or hornets in appearance.
