Nyceryx lunaris is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Ecuador.[2]
It can be distinguished from other Nyceryx species by the semitransparent spots in the distal half of the forewing and middle of the hindwing, and the salmon-pink basal area of the hindwing upperside.
Adults are probably on wing year round.
