Basiothia schenki, the brown striped hawk, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. The species was first described by Heinrich Benno Möschler in 1872. It is known from Zimbabwe and South Africa. It has a close plant-pollinator relationship with , whose scent attracts only two hawkmoth species, Basiothia schenki and Agrius convolvuli, that can effectively pollinate its flower. The moths' proboscis length and the orchid's spur length align perfectly with its petals and position of the pollinaria and stigma, although B. schenki has a shorter proboscis than A. convolvuli and must fly almost up to the flower and press against it. Adults are also pollinators of and .

Tiene una estrecha relación con la planta Disa cooperi, cuya fragancia atrae sólo a dos especies de este tipo de polilla, Basiothia schenki y Agrius convolvuli, República Democrática del Congo, cuyas flores poliniza. La longitud de la pobóscide de la polilla y la longitud del espolón de la orquídea se alinean perfectamente con sus pétalos y posición del estigma de la orquídea y de la pollinaria, a pesar de que B. schenki tiene una probóscide más corta que A. convolvuli y tiene que volar casi hasta la flor y pulsar contra ella. Los adultos también son polinizadores de Zaluzianskya natalensis. Las larvas se alimentan de especies de Vernonia. (es)
