It is found from Nepal, the north-eastern India states of Sikkim and Assam, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam to Fujian and Hong Kong in China.[2]
The wingspan is 106–134 mm. It is similar to Ambulyx maculifera, but can be distinguished by the absence of a subbasal costal patch on the forewing upperside.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Canarium album in China.
