Hyles x apocyni is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
The larvae feed on Apocynum species. While a close relationship to Hyles chamyla has long been suspected, a combination of DNA sequencing and comparative morphology places this species as a hybrid of Hyles chamyla with Hyles hippophaes bienerti.[2]
