Manduca chinchilla is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Peru.[2]
It is similar in appearance to several other members of the Manduca genus, but a number of differences distinguish it from Manduca rustica, to which it most closely compares, particularly in its chalky grey colour, grey underside, wavy transverse bands on the forewing upperside.
