Thirteen species have been recorded for Brazil. The main characteristic of the group is the presence of a dark rectangular bar on the forewing of most species and also a pair of triangular spots on the thorax. Maranh&amp;atilde;o is a Brazilian State located in the Northeast of the country, its territory is composed of three biomes: Cerrado (64%) Amazon (35%), and Caatinga (1%). This work aimed to carry out a study of &lt;em&gt;Eumorpha &lt;/em&gt;inventory with a taxonomic focus on three complexes of species occurring in Maranh&amp;atilde;o: &lt;em&gt;Eumorpha anchemolus&lt;/em&gt; (Cramer, 1779),&lt;em&gt; Eumorpha analis&lt;/em&gt; (Rothschild &amp;amp; Jordan, 1903) and &lt;em&gt;Eumorpha obliquus&lt;/em&gt; (Rothschild &amp;amp; Jordan, 1903). We analyzed 194 specimens belonging to 13 species, seven of which are representatives of the examined complexes. The specimens studied come from 13 municipalities in the State, seven from the Cerrado biome, and six from the Amazon biome. This study contributed to the knowledge of the &lt;em&gt;Eumorpha &lt;/em&gt;fauna and demonstrated that it is still underestimated throughout the Brazilian territory. Following this work the number of species has increased significantly for the Maranh&amp;atilde;o State. Moreover, our work showed that the identification carried out only by the external morphology of &lt;em&gt;habitus &lt;/em&gt;is not efficient for the analyzed complexes of species. This present article also demonstrates that the use of genitalia characters is a good approach to separate species within the groups.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
