Sphingidae of the Dominican Republic

Xylophanes chiron chiron courtesy of Paolo Mazzei.

Although I believe these "tribal" checklists contain only species within the Dominican Republic, there may be omissions, and there may be improper entries.

The list should be very reliable, however, as it is from Pierre Schmit's Liste Systématique .
