Pachygonidia subhamata is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found from Brazil, Venezuela and Ecuador north through Central America (Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Belize) to Mexico.

The wingspan is 62–75 mm. There is a grey-brown submarginal patch on the forewing upperside and two median transverse pinkish-buff bands on the hindwing upperside. These band are more or less shaded with brown and the pink tint is mostly not prominent.

There are probably multiple generations per year.

The larvae feed on Vitis tiliifolia.
