Callionima juliane is a species of moth in the family Sphingidae, which is known from Peru. It was described by Eitschberger in 2000.
The wingspan is 54–62 mm for males and 54–64 mm for females. It is very similar to Callionima falcifera but smaller and with a paler, more uniform, less contrasting forewing and hindwing upperside pattern. The dark patch on the anal area of the hindwing upperside is brown and weakly developed.
The larvae possibly feed on Aspidosperma macrocarpa or other Apocynaceae species.
