It is similar to Xylophanes adalia and Xylophanes ploetzi. The upperside is olive green. The abdomen has two rows of feeble brown dots dorsally. Each side has a row of pale, golden apical dots.
There are at least two to three generations per year.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae species.
