Perigonia caryae is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from the Dominican Republic.[2]
It is the only species in the Perigonia genus with a banded forewing pattern consisting of alternating pale and dark brown areas, in combination with a semicircular submarginal area that is paler than the adjacent terminal area and which extends posteriorly only slightly beyond the middle of the outer margin and never approximates or reaches the tornus.
