Sphingidae of Costa Rica

Although I believe these "tribal" checklists contain only species within Costa Rica, there may be omissions. Special thanks goes to Dan Janzen who has given me permission to resize and use his many images. This checklist also comes from his work.

If you have corrections to offer, please contact
