Apantesis bowmani is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Douglas C. Ferguson and B. Christian Schmidt in 2007. It is found in the United States in western Colorado and southeastern Utah. It occurs at elevations between 1,520 and 2,130 meters.
The length of the forewings is about 14.8 mm. The ground color of the forewings is dark brown to black with pale buff bands. The hindwings are rose to pale pink with a black pattern. Adults are on wing from mid-May to late July.[1]
