I have used the nomenclature from Kitching and Cadiou 2000. I do not have reference material listing the species found in Guyana, but I do have reliable sources for
the Sphingidae found in Venezuela and French Guiana. I have made interpolations, and include below those species found in both Venezuela and French Guiana. Thus I
have probably omitted some species endemic to Guyana, and there may be some species found in both Venezuela and French Guiana that are not found in Guyana,
although that is unlikely. In some cases I have included a ? after the listing because I think the species is probably present although not listed in both
Venezuela and French Guiana.
I will revise the checklist over time as new data becomes available.This tentative checklist has recently (February 1, 2011) been
created and posted, inspired by a submission from David Morimoto.
