Pentateucha curiosa is a species of moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Nepal, north-eastern India, south-western China (Yunnan), northern Thailand and northern Vietnam.

The wingspan is about 104 mm. Adults are on wing in January in Vietnam and from mid December to mid February in northern Thailand.

The larvae probably feed on Ilex species (including Ilex triflora). In captivity, larvae have been reared on leaves of Ilex aquifolium.
