Clanidopsis is a genus of moths in the Sphingidae family, containing only one species Clanidopsis exusta, which is found from northern Pakistan (Margalla Hills) and north-western India, eastward along the southern slopes of the Himalaya to central Nepal and neighbouring parts of Tibet and Hubei in China.[2]
The wingspan is 70-96 mm. It is similar to Clanis species, but the proboscis is much shorter and the forewing is broader and not falcate apically. The forewing underside is lacking a black streak posterior to the discal cell and the hindwing upperside is lacking the black basal patch.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Indigofera species in India.
