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 San Juan are links to checklists for the other provinces.

San Juan Province is probably underreported, but the climate is very dry. There are some fertile regions around the streams which may host a greater diversity than indicated below.

Many thanks also to Ezequiel Bustos who has sent me (July, 2017) an addition for San Juan, based on his tireless research into Argentina Sphingidae ranges.
