Xylophanes mineti
Similar to Xylophanes crotonis but of similar size to Xylophanes sarae. Forewing more slender and slightly more falcate than Xylophanes crotonis. Forewing upperside ground colour greenish-brown (fading to reddish-brown) (never the olive-green of fresh Xylophanes crotonis); first postmedial line sometimes slightly duplicated, giving the impression of a supernumerary line. Wingspan: 84-87 mm (n = 13).
Male genitalia: Uncus longer, narrower and more tapered than in Xylophanes crotonis. Harpe short and sharp-edged; broad from base to its middle, then tapering to a very sharply pointed hook, curved up at about 90°. Apical process of phallus reduced compared to Xylophanes crotonis (similar to that of Xylophanes aristor); left lobe distally convex, its anterior margin edged in a row of small, equally sized teeth; dorso-lateral edge of the area joining the left and right lobes concave; right lobe a short hook, ending in either a single point or several small irregular teeth.
The status of the population in Colombia (not mapped) remains to be clarified.
