\"Family sphingidae known as sphinx moths or hakmoths plays a crucial role in the stability of terrestrial ecosystem. Philippines which is known as one of the 17 mega diverse countries comprises 118 species of sphinx moths. This study highlights the species composition, endemism and local status of sphinx moths of Mt. Kitanglad, Philippines. Three sites were employed namely agroecosystem, montane forest and dipterocarp forest. Light trapping technique was used to collect night flying moths. Twenty-two individuals which made up of even species belonging to six genera were recorded. Site 2 (montane forest) has the highest number of individuals collected (63.6\%) followed by site 1 (agroecosystem- 27.2\%) and site 3 (dipterocarp forest) with only 9.0\%. Four species: A socrates, C. decolor, D. hypothous and T. nessus were found to be very rare while the remaining species are categorized as rare. Only one collected species namely Ambulyx staudingeri were found to be endemic in the Philippines.\"

\"Sphingidae, also known as Hawkmoths or Sphinx Moths, are ecological indicators that are naturally affected by environmental stresses. They have a widespread distribution from Southeast Asia and play significant roles in the environment as indicators of the quality of habitat and biomass degradation. Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary(MHRWS), as the only world heritage site in the Philippines, has been subjected to numerous conservation studies of flora and fauna for several years. There were significant studies on Lepidopteransin MHRWS, but there were no reports on moth species, specifically on the family Sphingidae. Thus, this study was carried outin Sitio Tagtigcup, Barangay La Union, San Isidro and Ecopark of Mansinagan, Governor Generoso, Davao Oriental to provide data on the composition, endemism and status of Hawkmoths. Light trap sampling were established using 3 \× 4m white silk cloth and 250 Vlight bulbs in the two proposed expansion sites. A total of 6 genera with 8 species were recorded. Of the collected species, Acosmeryx socrates, Ambulyx staudengeri and The retramanilae were endemic to the Philippines. There were 4 uncommon or local species, three 3 common species and only one rare species recorded. This concludes that MHRWS proposed expansion sites are home of 8 hawkmoths which comprised 37.5\% endemicity in the Philippine hawkmothss. Thus, this study calls for conservation and protection.\"
