FAUNA PARAGUAY HAWK MOTH CHECKLIST

Very much a work in progress, this a list of the Hawkmoths recorded in Paraguay based on our own records and reliable references. Species marked with a * have an image in the moth image gallery. Numbers in brackets after each taxonomic group refers to the number of species listed within it, the first figure being the number for which we have images taken in Paraguay.
Click on the family link for a rundown of the biology and characteristics of the group.
Click on the subfamily links for access to the image galleries.
Click on the species links to access the FAUNA Paraguay Handbook of Paraguayan Fauna Species Account.
The English name is given first (where it exists), based on Bill Oehlke´s excellent Hawk Moths of the Americas site - this site is highly recommended for anybody interested in this group. The scientific name is given in italics followed by the descriptor and date. No meaning should be read into rounded brackets, square brackets surrounding the date indicate that the species was originally described under a different name.
Currently 105 species are listed, but expect it to grow rapidly!
