Ceridia heuglini is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from savanna and grassland from Mali and Chad to Sudan, the Central African Republic and Uganda.[2]
The length of the forewings is about 30 mm. The ground colour of the forewings and body is pale pinkish brown. There is a chocolate coloured narrow median stripe on the head and thorax. The forewings have a conspicuous chocolate marking which touches the costa, leaving the intervening areas pinkish brown. There is a large rounded chocolate stigma touching the lower part of this chocolate marking and a rounded chocolate marking edged proximally with pale pink at the apex. There are several faint, sinuous dark transverse lines. The hindwings are paler, more pink and unmarked.
