Amphonyx duponchel, Duponchel's sphinx, is a large hawkmoth of the family Sphingidae, described by Felipe Poey in 1832. It lives in tropical and subtropical lowlands of Cuba and the West Indies and across the mainland from Bolivia, southern Brazil and Argentina north to Venezuela, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mexico, and it is rare in Florida and Texas. The wingspan is 110 to 150 millimetres, and the males are much smaller than the females. The forewing upperside carries black discal dashes and a transverse, kidney-shaped, dirty white discal spot. Adults are on the wing year round and feed on nectar at flowers. The very colourful larvae feed on Guatteria diospyroides, Annona purpurea, Annona reticulata, Xylopia frutescens and Annona glabra, and probably on other Annonaceae.
