TAXONOMY:
Family: Sphingidae, Latreille, 1802 |
I suspect it also flies in Venezuela Amazonas (JRAC), Guyana and Suriname.
This moth will most often appear in reference work as Cocytius mortuorum until the new designation as the single species in the Morcocytius genus designation becomes more wiedely known.
