Sphingidae of Argentina

Mendoza Provincial Checklists

As of October 2007, this list has been confirmed by the L.O.L.A. publication Hawkmoths of Argentina, More, Kitching and Cocucci, 2005.

Below the checklist for Mendoza are links to checklists for the other provinces.

Mendoza Province is probably underreported, but much of the land is high mountains, and the climate is quite dry with extremes between daytime and night time temperatures. There are some fertile regions around the streams which may host a greater diversity than indicated below.
