Three new species of the Xylophanes crotonis species-group (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) from Colombia and a neotype designation for Xylophanes aristor. Eur. J. Entomol., 118, Article 64-81. https://doi.org/10.14411/eje.2021.0091210-575910.14411/eje.2021.009http://hdl.handle.net/10141/622945Three new species of the hawkmoth genus Xylophanes Hübner, 1819 from Colombia are described based on morphological characters and DNA barcodes: Xylophanes camilae Correa-Carmona & Giusti sp. n., Xylophanes pijao Giusti & CorreaCarmona sp. n., and Xylophanes tayrona Correa-Carmona & Giusti sp. n. The new species are compared with the most morphologically similar species within the informal Xylophanes crotonis species-group: Xylophanes aristor (Boisduval, 1870), Xylophanes crotonis (Walker, 1856) and Xylophanes huloti Haxaire & Vaglia, 2008. Diagnoses, distribution maps, photographs of genital structures and habitus are provided for each new species. In addition, a dichotomous key is provided to identify the new species and the most morphologically similar species within the group. To stabilize the nomenclature and fi x the taxon concept, a neotype is designated for Xylophanes aristor.openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Journal Article1802-8829European Journal of Entomology2021-11-0811864lepidopterasphingidaeColombiadna barcodingneighbor-joining treeneotypenew speciesspecies delimitationtaxonomyXylophanes crotonis species-group
