The pattern of the forewing upperside is most similar to Xylophanes ceratomioides, but generally the distal antemedian line and basal postmedian line meet on inner edge of the forewing upperside. There is pale brown excavated area on the outer margin of the postmedian band. The pale subbasal and median bands of the hindwing uppersi
