Xylophanes Suana
''Xylophanes suana'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae Species description, first described by Herbert Druce in 1889. Distribution It is known from the Bahamas. Description It is similar to ''Xylophanes tersa, Xylophanes tersa tersa'' but the upperside of the body and forewing is more uniform ash grey, whereas the abdomen is lacking the golden-yellow lateral stripes and the forewings are less elongate. Furthermore, the abdominal tergites have weaker spines. The forewing pattern is generally very uniform. Only the discal spot, the basal section of the first postmedian line and the fourth postmedian line are standing out from the greyish-brown ground colour in most specimens. The pale yellow spots of the median band on the hindwing upperside are fewer and smaller than in ''Xylophanes tersa tersa'' and sometimes flushed with pink.

Herbert Druce
Herbert Druce, FLS (14 July 1846, in London – 11 April 1913, in London) was an English entomologist. His collections were acquired by Frederick DuCane Godman (1834–1919), Osbert Salvin (1835–1898), and James John Joicey (1870–1932) before being bequeathed to the Natural History Museum, London. He is not to be confused with his son, the English entomologist Hamilton Herbert Druce (1869 – 21 June 1922), who also worked on Lepidoptera.
