''Xylophanes germen'' is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala and is found from Venezuela to Bolivia. The wingspan is 72–85 mm. The forewing has a crenulated outer margin. The forewing upperside ground colour is olive green-grey. The transverse lines are indistinct, the basal and two antemedian lines are curved outward from the inner margin and then back towards the costa. The three postmedian bands are running transversely across the wing, distal to which may be a variably developed paler patch and an orange-brown patch. Adults are probably on wing year round. The larvae feed on ''Psychotria correae'', ''Psychotria elata'', ''Psychotria eurycarpa'' and ''Exostema mexicanum'' and possibly other Rubiaceae species. ==Subspecies== *''Xylophanes germen germen'' (Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala) *''Xylophanes germen yurakano'' Lichy, 1945 (Venezuela to Bolivia) 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「Xylophanes germen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
