Xylophanes indistincta is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from south-eastern Brazil.

It is similar to Xylophanes aristor but smaller. The ground colour is mostly grey-green, although the forewing underside has a pale yellow apical area on the costa and an orange-yellow ground colour.

Adults are probably on wing year round.

The larvae possibly feed on Psychotria panamensis, Psychotria nervosa and Pavonia guanacastensis.
