Xylophanes lolita is a moth of the Sphingidae family. 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.[1]
It is very similar to Xylophanes loelia but is immediately distinguishable by its larger size, wing shape, and constant genital differences.
