Xylophanes meridanus

Xylophanes meridanus is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Surinam.

It is similar to Xylophanes amadis, but the pale median band is always interrupted by black streaks along the veins, particularly those of the posterior part of the wing.

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