Hippotion batschii is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Madagascar.[2]
It is very similar to Hippotion saclavorum, but distinguishable by the darker reddish-brown colour of the upperside of the body and forewings. Only the fifth postmedian line is distinct and conspicuous on the forewing upperside.
