Main Article Content
Abstract
Study on hawkmoths (Sphingidae family) in the Central Highlands of Vietnam (Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, and Lam Dong provinces) was carried out during the years 2016–2022. Light traps and butterfly nets were used to collect specimens of the Sphingidae family in the night and day times. An update checklist of Sphingidae was based on collected specimens in the studied area and combine the review data. Totally, 113 Sphingidae species from the Central Highlands of Vietnam are recorded. Among them, 78 species are recorded from collected specimens and 35 species without collected specimens are compiled from the literatures. Addition, 14 species are herein added to the known list, including one very rare species, Eurypteryx geoffreyi Cadiou & Kitching, 1990, and two endemic species, Griseosphinx marchandi Cadiou, 1996 and Callambulyx schintlmeisteri Brechlin, 1997.
