Sphingidae of Montserrat

Although I believe these "tribal" checklists contain only species within Montserrat, there are probably some omissions, and there may be many improper entries.

Montserrat lies in the Caribbean Sea, southeast of Puerto Rico.

The list should be fairly reliable, however, as it is from Pierre Schmit's Liste Systématique for the Dominican Republic.

Brian writes, "I found many of them devouring a purple allamanda and also on a large tree (Bombaceae) on the USDA Tropical Agricultural Research Station grounds in Mayaguez, PR."
