Xylophanes aglaor is a moth of the family Sphingidae.
Contents
Distribution
It is found from Brazil west to Bolivia.
Description
It is similar in appearance to several other members of the Xylophanes genus, but a number of differences distinguish it from Xylophanes libya, to which it most closely compares, particularly in its darker coloring and pattern, with its clearer contrasts. Black scales are scattered over the wings, which are otherwise striated with five postmedial lines.
Biology
The larvae probably feed on Psychotria panamensis, Psychotria nervosa and Pavonia guanacastensis.
