Manduca janira is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It can be found in south-eastern Brazil. [2]
It is similar in appearance to several other members of the genus Manduca , but a number of differences distinguish it from Manduca brasiliensis , to which it most closely compares, particularly in the more prominently variegated basal and apical areas of the wings and the hindwing upperside with grey bands tinted with yellow.
