Manduca corallina is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica south to Venezuela.
The wingspan is 104–110 mm. The thorax (especially in the male) is less robust than similar Manduca lichenea. Furthermore, the wings are more elongate, but with a very similar pattern.
Adults are on wing year round.
The larvae feed on Cordia alliodora. They have a very rough skin, two dorsal yellow stripes and side slashes on their green body.
