\"The authors describe the previously unknown early stages of Compsulyx cochereaui, the emblematic species of Sphingidae of New Caledonia and illustrate all the immature stages, from egg to pupa. They discuss possible larval food plants, all of which belong to the family Cunoniaceae. Although not rejecting the validity of the tribe Ambulycini, they question its characterization based on the pupal cremaster character proposed by Nakamura (1977).\"

\"L\’analyse morphologique ainsi qu\’un \élevage intensif de l\’esp\èce de Gnathothlibus volant en Nouvelle-Cal\édonie et jusqu\’\à ce jour nomm\é \à tort Gnathothlibus eras (Boisduval, 1832) conduit les auteurs \à le traiter comme une esp\èce distincte et nouvelle pour la science. Ils en produisent ici la description bas\ée sur l\’habitus et l\’armature g\énitale m\âle. Les stades larvaires en sont illustr\és et compar\és \à l\’esp\èce voisine Gnathothlibus eras. Dix plantes h\ôtes appartenant \à sept familles sont d\ésign\ées, deux de ces familles \étant in\édites pour le genre (Clusiaceae et Cunoniaceae). La mouche Wintemia caledoniae Mesnil, 1968 serait le principal parasito\ïde de notre nouvelle esp\èce.\"
