Schltr. (Orchidaceae) was studied on an inselberg in the Antananarivo region, central Madagascar. The flowers exhibit long nectariferous spurs indicative of hawk-moth pollination, the mechanism evidently involving pollinia transfer via the frons and palpi of the vectors. Analysis of hawk-moth scales on naturally pollinated stigmas showed that the principal pollinators were &lt;em&gt;Agrius conuolvuli&lt;/em&gt; (Linnaeus) and &lt;em&gt;Panogena lingens&lt;/em&gt; (Butler). Proboscis morphology of long-tongued Malagasy Sphingidae in relation to nectar position and spur morphology in &lt;em&gt;A. ellisii&lt;/em&gt; also indicated that &lt;em&gt;A. convolvuli&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P. lingens&lt;/em&gt; were best suited to interact with the plant&amp;#39;s floral adaptation. &lt;em&gt;Aerangis ellisii&lt;/em&gt; seems to display a relatively moderate specialization versus the Malagasy hawk-moth guild since its nectar is accessible even to those long-proboscis hawk-moth species which are not able to act as pollinators.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
