Lintneria smithi is a species of moth in the family Sphingidae, the sphinx moths and hawk moths. It is known by the common name Smith's sphinx.[3] It is known from southern Arizona, southeastern New Mexico, and Sonora in northwestern Mexico.[3]
This moth has a thick, elongated body and a wingspan of about 9 centimeters. The larva is mottled white and grayish brown with a purple tinge.[3] It is similar in pattern to Lintneria xantus, but structurally more similar to Lintneria lugens. It is smaller than both, with a shorter, more rounded forewing.[4]
This moth has only been recorded at three or four locations. Little is known about its life history.[1]
