    with the straight knobbly caudal horn ("tail") this is allied to Acherontia - maybe Psilogramma or Meganoton sp., or even possibly Agrius convolvuli.

    however, as there are quite a few little black marks (and I'm not referring to the spiracles) on the body, I suspect this has been heavily parasitized.

    cheers, Roger.
