This is A. lachesis
A. atropos is an African species.
The only other species in the genus, A. styx, has a much cleaner look as the postmedial & subterminal fascia are much thinner.
Both atropos and styx lack the basal blackening on the hindwing that is present in A. lachesis
Check out Ian Kitching and Tony Pittaway's Eastern Palaearctic sphingid website or Jan Beck's & Ian Kitching's S.E.Asian sphingid website for more info.
cheers, Roger.
