Xylophanes obscurus is a moth of the family Sphingidae.
It is similar to Xylophanes cosmius but the forewing upperside is darker, more uniform and sombre brown. Furthermore, the dark patch distal to discal spot is larger and trapezoidal. The conspicuous postmedian line is straight or slightly convex, reaching the costa before the apex. The fringes are not chequered.
There are probably at least three generations per year.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae and Malvaceae species.
