Cechenena transpacifica is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from the Philippines.
It is similar to Cechenena chimaera but the basal area of the forewing underside is reddish-ochre. Adults are sexually dimorphic. The intensity of the dark pattern of the forewing upperside in males is highly variable, ranging from very heavily marked to almost unmarked.
