Manduca leucospila is a moth of the family Sphingidae.
The length of the forewings is about 47 mm. It is similar in appearance to several other members of the genus Manduca , but a number of differences distinguish it from Manduca dalica , to which it most closely compares, particularly in its narrower wings and general colour which is intermediate between Manduca dalica and Manduca rustica . Furthermore, the abdomen upperside is similar to that of Manduca rustica, both having three yellow side patches, two rows of white dots and a mesial row of indistinct black dots. The underside of the body has a chalky colour.
