Pachygonidia odile is a moth of the Sphingidae family which is endemic to Ecuador.[2]
The wingspan is 65 millimetres (2.6 in) for males and 69 millimetres (2.7 in) for females. It can be distinguished from all other Pachygonidia species by the combination of the dentate outer forewing margin and the yellowish-tan hindwing.
There are probably multiple generations per year.
