Xylophanes mossi |
Xylophanes mossi is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Brazil.[2]
It is similar to Xylophanes rufescens, but the forewing upperside is uniform rust-brown and all other pattern elements are reduced or absent.
Adults are probably on wing year round.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae species.
