Sphingidae of Argentina

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 Chaco are links to checklists for the other provinces.

Those species followed by WO? are not confirmed for Chaco, but I (William Oehlke) suspect they might be present.

Many thanks also to Ezequiel Bustos who has sent me (July, 2017) many additions for Chaco, based on his tireless research into Argentina Sphingidae ranges.
