Xylophanes rhodocera is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Haiti and the Dominican Republic.[2]
The dorsal scales of the antennae are pink. The outer margin of the forewing is strongly convex. The forewing upperside pattern is very uniform. There is a slightly brownish patch present near the end of the discal cell and another smaller one is occasionally present in the middle of the cell. The disco-marginal area is dusted with brown scales, especially posteriorly.
Adults are probably on wing year-round.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae species.
