Very similar to Xylophanes thyelia thyelia but wings more slender and with minor pattern differences. Abdomen underside lacking the scattered black scales of Xylophanes thyelia thyelia. Forewing upperside very similar to Xylophanes thyelia thyelia but: anterior half of wing darker and more uniform; the pale apical area above Rs4 more sharply delineated; first postmedian line and short line basal to it merged and barely visible; pale area between second and fifth postmedian lines narrower, especially below M3, with third and fourth postmedian lines distinct and continuous along their entire length; second and third postmedian lines closer; Forewing underside as Xylophanes thyelia thyelia but: first and second postmedian lines more or less merged; third postmedian line stronger and more uniform; all lines directed more towards the apex; pale yellow patch distal to third postmedian line between M3 and CuA2 more sharply delineated. Hindwing underside as in Xylophanes thyelia thyelia but: pattern more contrasting; postmedian lines tending to merge together and more directed towards the apex (they are directed towards the costa in Xylophanes thyelia thyelia); fringe with more white scales. Identical to those of Xylophanes thyelia thyelia.
