Xylophanes jamaicensis is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Jamaica.[2]
It is similar to Xylophanes porcus porcus, but the forewings are shorter and broader, the tornus is more produced and the outer margin is more excavate below the apex.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae species.
