\"The Malagasy species Polyptychus suffuscus, long regarded as a member of Malgassoclanis (Smerinthinae), is transferred to the genus Pantophaea (along with \“Carcassonia\” scheveni), that is to the Sphinginae. This hawkmoth indeed possesses enlarged, conspicuous spines on the basitarsus of its foreleg, a feature here proposed as an autapomorphy of the Sphinginae, which can also be characterized by two other derived traits. On the other hand, the subfamily Smerinthinae has, in its forewing ground plan, a hitherto unnoticed modification of the space situated, distally, below the anal vein (an apomorphy absent from Pantophaea suffuscus n. comb.).
As evidenced by uncus morphology, the genera Notonagemia, Leucomonia, Psilogramma, Pantophaea and Macropoliana make up an unnamed subtribe within the Sphingini, a tribe also including Cocytiina, Sphingina and Acherontiina.
Two new, monotypic, tribes (Pentateuchini; Monardini) are proposed within the Sphinginae, a subfamily whose phylogeny can be summarized by the formula Pentateuchini + (Monardini + (\“Hopliocnema group\” + (Sphingulini + Sphingini))).\"

Two of these, Dolbina inexacta (Walker, 1856) and Rhagastis olivacea (Moore, 1872), represent further confirmation of their occurrence in the country following first records from Pakistan by Rafi et al.
