\"The morphology of the proboscis and associated feeding organs was studied in several nectar-feeding hawk moths, as well as a specialized honey-feeder and two supposedly nonfeeding species. The proboscis lengths ranged from a few millimeters to more than 200 mm. Despite the variation in proboscis length and feeding strategy, the principle external and internal composition of the galeae, the stipes pump, and the suction pump were similar across all species. The morphology of the smooth and slender proboscis is highly conserved among all lineages of nectar-feeding Sphingidae. Remarkably, they share a typical arrangement of the sensilla at the tip. The number and length of sensilla styloconica are independent from proboscis length. A unique proboscis morphology was found in the honey-feeding species Acherontia atropos. Here, the distinctly pointed apex displays a large subterminal opening of the food canal, and thus characterizes a novel type of piercing proboscis in Lepidoptera. In the probably nonfeeding species, the rudimentary galeae are not interlocked and the apex lacks sensilla styloconica; galeal muscles, however, are present. All studied species demonstrate an identical anatomy of the stipes, and suction pump, regardless of proboscis length and diet. Even supposedly nonfeeding Sphingidae possess all organs of the feeding apparatus, suggesting that their proboscis rudiments might still be functional. The morphometric analyses indicate significant positive correlations between galea lumen volume and stipes muscle volume as well as the volume of the food canal and the muscular volume of the suction pump. Size correlations of these functionally connected organs reflect morphological fine-tuning in the evolution of proboscis length and function.\"

\"The article presents the results of the first studies on distribution in the Fergana Valley of the butterflies of Sphingidae family. There are 5 species belonging to 4 genera of the subfamily Macroglossinae, 2 species of 2 genera of the subfamily Smerinthinae, and 1 species belonging to 1 genus of the family Sphinginae. Among mentioned above species 2 for Uzbekistan and 6 for the entomofauna of the Fergana Valley were recorded for the first time. One species (Smerinthus kindermannii) is found in the foothill zone of Southern Ferghana, 3 species (Proserpinus proserpina, Macroglossum stellatarum, Laothoe populi) in areas of the piedmont and lowland plain, 4 species (Hyles euphorbiae, Theretra alecto, Hyles zygophyllir, Agrius convolvuli) belonging to the family of revellers. Caterpillars of species such as Proserpinus proserpina, Macroglossum stellatarum, Hyles euphorbiae, Hyles zygophylli, Agrius convolvuli are found mainly in natural landscapes which feed on herbaceous plants. Caterpillars of such butterfly species as Theretra alecto, Smerinthus kindermannii, Laothoe populi can feed by spreading in cultivated landscapes. All 7 noted species of butterflies are locally distributed in ecosystems of the Fergana valley and are considered to be species in need of protection. Out of them only the population of Agrius convolvuli is relatively stable. The features of distribution, biology and ecology of butterflies of the family Sphingidae in Uzbekistan, particularly in the Fergana Valley are not well studied which dictates the need for comprehensive research.\"

\"This paper provides comments on the Sphingidae species of south eastern Turkey by the field surveys are conducted between in 2015-2017. A total of 15 species are determined as a result of the investigations from Batman, Diyarbak{\i}r and Mardin provinces. With this study, the number of sphinx moths increased to 13 in Batman, 14 in Diyarbak{\i}r and 8 in Mardin. Among them, 7 species for Batman, 4 species for Diyarbak{\i}r and 1 species for Mardin are new record. For each species, original reference, type locality, material examined, distribution in the world and in Turkey, and larval hostplants are given. Adults figures of Smerinthus kindermanni Lederer, 1852; Marumba quercus ([Denis \& Schifferm\üller], 1775); Rethera komarovi (Christoph, 1885); Macroglossum stellatarum (Linnaeus, 1758); Hyles euphorbiae (Linnaeus, 1758) and H. livornica (Esper, [1780]) are illustrated.\"
