\"Sphingidae (Hawkmoth or Sphinxmoth) is a known bioindicator that is naturally af-fected by environmental issues such as deforestation and pollution. Members of this family are widely distributed in Southeast Asia and play vital roles as indicators of habitat quality and biomass degradation. This study highlights the diversity and assessment of hawkmoths of Mt. Agad-Agad (Sitio Langinlanon, Barangay Puga-an) on Iligan City. Two sampling stations were established, the upper and lower Mt. Agad-Agad. Light trap sampling using 2 \× 3 m2 white silk cloth and 500 watts light bulb was established in selected points of the sampling stations. Six species belonging to four genera were recorded of which two species, Acosmeryx socrates and Polyptychus trilineatus philippinensis, were found very rare in the area. Station 2 (lower Mt. Agad-Agad) had the highest number of species recorded compared to Station 1 (upper Mt. Agad-Agad). However, there is no significant difference between the two (t=0.59, critical t=2.2281, p=0.56) sampling stations in terms of species composition. Moreover, two species from the genus Ambulyx are the endemic species observed, viz, A. bakeri and A. wilemani.\"

\"Recent observations and discoveries on the Asian members of the\  genus Polyptychus, (H\übner, [1819]) are summarised, with a particular focus on the subspecies of Polyptychus trilineatus (Moore, 1888), based on long series of specimens from India, south-east Asia and Indonesia, including most of the type localities. Conclusions are mostly based on large numbers of morphological observations, together with the results of DNA barcode analysis. We propose the following changes in the taxonomy of the group: Polyptychus trilineatus costalis Mell, 1922 syn. nov., Polyptychus trilineatus mincopicus Jordan, 1930 syn. nov., and Polyptychus trilineatus kelanus Jordan, 1930 syn. nov., are considered as synonyms of Polyptychus trilineatus. The following taxa, previously treated as subspecies of Polyptychus trilineatus, are accorded species status: Polyptychus luteatus Rothschild and Jordan, 1903 stat. nov., Polyptychus sonantis Jordan, 1930 stat. rev., Polyptychus celebensis Clark, 1929 stat. nov., Polyptychus philippinensis Rothschild and Jordan, 1903 stat. nov. and Polyptychus javanicus Gehlen, 1931 stat. nov. Consequently, there are now no subspecies recognized in Polyptychus trilineatus.
The four subspecies of Polyptychus chinensis Rothschild \& Jordan, 1903 are discussed. Based on both morphological observations and the results of DNA barcode analysis, Polyptychus chinensis draconis Rothschild \& Jordan 1916 syn. nov., Polyptychus chinensis draconoides Mell, 1935 syn. nov. and Polyptychus chinensis shaanxiensis Brechlin, 2008 syn. nov. are placed in synonymy with P. chinensis.\"
