Hemeroplanes longistriga is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Brazil and Ecuador.[2]

It differs from all other Hemeroplanes species by the very long silver mark on the forewing upperside and lack of yellow bands on the upperside of the abdomen.

There are probably at least two generations per year. Adults have been recorded in December in Brazil.
