Xylophanes maculator
Female antenna andromorphic. Upperside of body with a characteristic pair of dark brown, subdorsal, longitudinal lines that run from the head, over the prothorax, along the inner edge of tegula, across the metathorax and along the abdomen as a lateral stripe. Mesothorax dorsally with a strong median line that continues over the metathorax and along the abdomen. Dorsal line of abdomen bordered by a pair of narrow dark brown lines highlighted on the posterior margins of the tergites by small spots. Forewing relatively short, outer margin straight, apex slightly falcate. Outer spur of midtibia a little shorter than the inner. Forewing upperside ground colour brown; discal spot small, black, immediately beyond which is a variably developed black cloud; first to third postmedial lines narrow, first sometimes heavier than the other two and straight along its entire length; fourth postmedial line strongest, area between this and the fifth postmedial line suffused with orange; fifth postmedial line interrupted between M2 and CuA2; inner margin distal to fourth postmedial line shaded with black. Hindwing upperside: Similar to that of Xylophanes damocrita but inner edge produced as a series of dark streaks along the veins. Male FWL: 28-32 mm; female FWL: 32-40 mm.
Male genitalia: Uncus narrow, truncate-sinuate. Gnathos quite narrow, with a sharp apical point. Harpe rather stouter than that of Xylophanes damocrita, gradually narrowed but slightly dilated before the acutely pointed tip. Phallus apical process with a slightly raised band covered with scattered teeth on the left and the right abruptly produced into a short, multidentate process. Vesica initially directed posteriorly and angled slightly downward; at a point about halfway along its length from the base to where two short, broadly triangular diverticula arise, the vesica suddenly narrows and curves sharply down through about 90°, so that it is now directed anteroventrally; left diverticulum more than twice as long as the right, but still shorter than the width of the vesica at this point.
