Xylophanes lolita Haxaire & Vaglia, 2008
|
Xylophanes lolita is a moth of the family Sphingidae first described by Jean Haxaire and Thierry Vaglia in 2008. It is only known from Poté in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is likely to be restricted to this part of south-eastern Brazil, which is known for its high level of endemism.[1]
It is very similar to Xylophanes loelia but is immediately distinguishable by its larger size, wing shape, and constant genital differences.
