Xylophanes lolita is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is only known from Pote in the Minas Gerais state of Brazil. It is likely to be restricted to this part of south-eastern Brazil, which is known for its high level of endemism.
It is very similar to Xylophanes loelia but is immediately distinguishable by its larger size, wing shape, and constant genital differences.
