Xylophanes Anubus
''Xylophanes anubus'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1777. Distribution It is found in Suriname, Mexico, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and south to Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. Description The wingspan is 97–102 mm. Females are larger than males. It is a very variable species in terms of size and degree of development of the oblique lines of the forewing upperside. The costal margin of the forewing is often rather strongly convex and the apex is recurved. The abdomen has three dorsal lines, the median line is usually the most distinct but may be absent and the lateral lines are sometimes reduced to rows of dots. The forewing upperside is either with or without a dark cloud distal to discal cell. There are seven oblique lines present of which the third is the heaviest.

Xylophanes Cosmius
''Xylophanes cosmius'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia to western Brazil. The wingspan is 83–90 mm. It is similar to ''Xylophanes amadis'', but the outer margin of the forewing is scalloped and more excavate below the apex. The abdomen is lacking subdorsal lines of spots on the posterior margins of the tergites and the lateral patches at the base of the abdomen are more poorly defined. The forewing upperside has the same general pattern but the discal spot is more conspicuous since it is surrounded by a small paler area. Furthermore, the darker cloud distal to discal spot is smaller, subtriangular and more well-defined. The fringes are chequered black and white. There are at least three generations per year in Peru with adults on wing from January to February, July and October. The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera wit ...

Benjamin Preston Clark
Benjamin Preston Clark (October 8, 1860, in West Roxbury – January 11, 1939, in Philadelphia), known to friends as "Preston", was an American entomologist who specialized in Lepidoptera, especially Sphingidae. He also operated a mercantile business and patented a new form of twine for binding grain. Biography Early life and education Clark was the direct descendant of Captain Joseph Weld (1599–1646), a progenitor of the wealthy Weld family of Boston. He grew up on the Weld Farm, a plot of 278 acres (1.13 km2) in Roxbury that was granted to his ancestor by the colonial legislature for "bravery fighting the Indians" during the Pequot War in 1637. He attended Amherst College from 1877 to 1881, where he developed a passion for the natural sciences. However, the failure of his father's mercantile firm (B. C. Clark & Co.) in 1881 forced him to set aside his plans of a career in academia, and to enter the business world. On 21 January 1890 he married Josephine Frances ...

Xylophanes Columbiana
''Xylophanes columbiana'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Colombia. The length of the forewings is about 32 mm. It is similar to '' Xylophanes elara'', the thorax and abdomen for instance are identical in colour and pattern. Difference is that the third of the oblique postmedian lines lies so close to the heavy fourth line that it is virtually indistinguishable. The dark subbasal area along the inner margin of the forewing underside is less extensive. Of the five postmedian lines present in ''Xylophanes elara'', line one is heavier, line two is absent, line three is prominent from the costa almost to the inner margin, line four is absent and line five is more wavy. Adults are probably on wing year-round. The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species.

Xylophanes Colinae
''Xylophanes colinae'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Ecuador, French Guiana and Venezuela. The wingspan is 72–78 mm. It is intermediate between '' Xylophanes ceratomioides'' and '' Xylophanes guianensis'', but smaller, with more rounded wings and an even more strongly scalloped outer forewing margin than ''Xylophanes guianensis''. The dorsal abdominal lines are as in ''Xylophanes ceratomioides'', but the outer lines are more continuous from segment to segment. 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 upperside are pale orange-brown. Adults are probably on wing year-round. The larvae possibly feed on ''Psychotria panamensis'', ''Psychotria nervosa ''Psychotria n ...

Dru Drury
Dru Drury (4 February 1724 – 15 December 1803) was a British collector of natural history specimens and an entomologist. He had specimens collected from across the world through a network of ship's officers and collectors including Henry Smeathman. His collections were utilized by many entomologists of his time to describe and name new species and is best known for his book ''Illustrations of natural history'' which includes the names and descriptions of many insects, published in parts from 1770 to 1782 with copperplate engravings by Moses Harris. Life Dru Drury was born in Lad Lane, Wood Street, London where his father, also Dru [also given as "Drew"] Drury (1688–1763), was a Freedom of the City of London, citizen, goldsmith and silversmith of the City of London, and his second wife Mary, daughter of Dr Hesketh, chaplain to Anne, Queen of Great Britain, Queen Anne.
