Pennisetia hylaeiformis, the raspberry clearwing, is a moth of the family Sesiidae.
[3] These moths have brown forewings characterized by a narrow transparent wedge shaped area and by a small three-cell outer window.
[4] In males the abdomen shows four yellow bands of the same width on seg IV to VII, while females have three bands only (on seg IV to VI), with an orange-brown tail.
Antennae are cristate and double-crescent-like shaped in males, while in females they are setaceous.
[2][7][8] Parasitoids of the larvae of the raspberry clearwings are various Ichneumonidae and Braconidae species such as Liotryphon punctulatus, Apanteles glomeratus, Lissanota pimplator, Bracon erraticus and Macrocentrus marginator.
