Coordinator notes: This species can be recognized by the pinkish maroon color that prevails beyond the postmedian white band. In H. columbia gloveri, this outer third of the wing has very little or no trace of maroon. Although variable, the discal spots are usually greatly elongated towards the outer edge of the wing, and this trait distinguishes euryalus from the other species of Hyalophora.
