''Daphnis hypothous'' is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Sri Lanka, southern and northern India, Nepal, Myanmar, southern China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is a rare vagrant to the Western Palaearctic ecozone. During the last hundred years a number have been discovered within the Middle East and one was even found in Scotland late last century but this was probably imported as a pupa with cargo. The wingspan is 86–120 mm. It is a very fast flyer and is attracted to both sweet-smelling flowers and light. Larvae have been recorded feeding on Rubiaceae species, including ''Cinchona'', ''Wendlandia'' and ''Uncaria'' species in India. Most instars are green with a brown backward curving tailhorn and a pair of white or red and yellow dorso-lateral stripes. Some instars have various coloured markings along the sides, including a blue eyespot on each side of the metathorax. The final instar is reddish brown. ==Subspecies== *''Daphnis hypothous hypothous'' (Indonesia including the Andaman Islands and Seram) *''Daphnis hypothous crameri'' Eitschberger & Melichar, 2010 (South-East Asia) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daphnis hypothous」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
