Platysphinx zabolicus is a moth of the family Sphingidae.[1][2][3] It is endemic to South Africa and known from Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.[2]
The length of the forewings is 46 mm for males. The top of the body and front wings are pale yellow, while the forewing has a discreet greyish beige pattern. The top of the hindwing is speckled yellow with red spots. It is only convincingly separable from Platysphinx piabilis by examining the genitalia.[4]
A new species of Platysphinx is described from the Republic of South Africa, Eastern Cape Province.
