Cechenena transpacifica is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from the Philippines.
This moth 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 nearly unmarked.
