The forewing upperside is also similar to Xylophanes rhodina, but the pattern is more variegated, the basalmost postmedian band is sinuate and the area distal to the longitudinal band is conspicuously paler than the rest of the wing. The hindwing is narrower than in Xylophanes rhodina. Adults are probably on wing year-round.
Xylophanes staudingeri is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Panama, Guatemala and Nicaragua. [2] It is similar to Xylophanes cyrene but deep green.
