Pachylia syces is a moth of the family Sphingidae.
It is found from Mexico through Belize and Honduras to Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina.
There is a pale median band on the forewing upperside which is separated into two patches.
Occasionally the patches are connected into a continuous transverse band, but if so, the band so formed is strongly constricted.
The hindwing upperside is almost unicolorous, darkened distally, without distinct bands and with a conspicuous white tip.
