Sphingidae of Peru

This is a very tentative checklist based primarily on a checklist I had compiled for Ecuador so I fully expect there are omissions and some erroneous inclusions. If you have corrections to offer, please contact
Bill Oehlke at oehlkew@islandtelecom.com.

Many thanks to Vladimir Izersky (vi) who has begun (2008) to send many electronic images with data for Peru.

I have also added some species, based on listing on the CATE (C) website.

Hubert Mayer (hm) and Bob Curry (bc) have also sent many images from Peru.

Patrick Demez (pd) sends this beautiful image of Hyles annei.
