This hawkmoth, &lt;em&gt;Xanthopan morganii&lt;/em&gt;, is also the longest-tongued hawkmoth on the African mainland, but its ecological role as a pollinator has been virtually unknown outside of Madagascar. We investigated whether &lt;em&gt;X. morganii&lt;/em&gt; pollinates &lt;em&gt;Bonatea steudneri&lt;/em&gt;, an orchid with floral spurs that vary from 10 to 21 cm in length among populations. At a forest locality in central Kenya, we observed &lt;em&gt;X. morganii &lt;/em&gt;individuals with tongues ca. 16 cm in length pollinating B. steudneri plants with spurs ca. 15 cm in length. At other localities in Kenya, we observed visits by the hawkmoths &lt;em&gt;Agrius convolvuli &lt;/em&gt;(tongue c. 12 cm) and &lt;em&gt;Coelonia fulvinotata&lt;/em&gt; (tongue ca. 10 cm). Pollinaria of &lt;em&gt;B. steudneri&lt;/em&gt; are attached to the eyes of hawkmoth visitors. Flowers of &lt;em&gt;B. steudneri&lt;/em&gt; show several adaptations for hawkmoth pollination, including anthesis at dusk and nocturnal emission of scent dominated by the volatile compound linalool. This study highlights the potential for predicting certain highly specialized interactions among species by matching of their respective morphological dimensions.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
