\"Although the Sphingidae (hawkmoths) of Paraguay are moderately well-known, comprehensive publications on the fauna are few and far between, and there is no modern taxonomic and biogeographical overview of the available data against which future researchers could work. Here we compile existing published data and review important national collections to provide a preliminary understanding of the distributions of Sphingidae species in the country. The presence of 100 species is documented, with a further three species pending documentation, three species considered to be of potential occurrence and seven species considered to have been erroneously cited. A complete bibliography of Paraguayan Sphingidae is provided, as well as taxonomic discussion, and a first attempt is made to associate sphingid species\’ distributions with the ecoregions present in the country. Four species are documented for Paraguay for the first time: Cocytius mephisto Haxaire \& Vaglia, 2002, Manduca exiguus (Gehlen, 1942), Erinnyis impunctata Rothschild \& Jordan, 1903 and Xylophanes marginalis Clark, 1917. Paraguayan specimens previously assigned to Xylophanes porcus (H\übner, [1823]) are re-assigned to the recently described species Xylophanes alineae Haxaire \& C. Mielke, 2017 and Xylophanes soaresi Haxaire \& C. Mielke, 2017. In addition, specimens of species previously named as Manduca sexta (Linnaeus, 1771) and Protambulyx eurycles (Herrich-Sch\äffer, [1854]) are referred to Manduca paphus (Cramer, 1779) and Protambulyx fasciatus (Gehlen, 1928) respectively. A provisional new taxonomic arrangement of the Paraguayan species of the genus Neogene Rothschild \& Jordan, 1903 is also proposed in which Neogene pictus Clark, 1931 syn. nov. and Neogene intermedia Clark, 1935 syn. nov. are synonymized with Neogene reevei (Druce, 1882), and Neogene albescens Clark, 1929 syn. nov. is synonymized with Neogene steinbachi Clark, 1924.\"

\"A checklist with 196 Sphingidae species confirmed from Brazil is provided. Three species depends on confirmation and another five are likely present. The richest Brazilian state is Amazonas, followed by Par\á with 101 and 92 species, respectively. Pictures and distribution maps for some little-known species are given. The following genus is a syn. rev.: Amphonyx Poey, 1832 of Cocytius H\übner, [1819]. The following genera are syn. nov.: Morcocytius Eitschberger, 2006 and Pseudococytius Eitschberger, 2006 of Cocytius H\übner, [1819]. The following species are syn. nov.: Amphonyx kofleri Eitschberger, 2006 and Amphonyx jamaicensis Eitschberger, 2006 of C. duponchel (Poey, 1832). The following species are syn. rev.: Amphonyx rivularis Butler, 1875 of C. duponchel (Poey, 1832). The following species are comb. rev.: C. beelzebuth (Boisduval, [1875]), Cocytius duponchel, C. haxairei Cadiou, 2006, C. lucifer Rothschild \& Jordan, 1910, C. mephisto Haxaire \& Vaglia, 2002, C. mortuorum Rothschild \& Jordan, 1910, and C. vitrinus Rothschild \& Jordan, 1910. The following species are stat. rev.: Isognathus brasiliensis Clark, 1919, Manduca paphus (Cramer, 1779), Nyceryx cratera Rothschild \& Jordan, 1916, Nyceryx lemonia Gehlen, 1941, Orecta tithonus (Kirby, 1886) and Xylophanes reussi Closs, 1920. The following species are stat. nov.: Protambulyx fasciatus Gehlen, 1928, Madoryx dentatus Gehlen, 1931, and Nyceryx saturata Rothschild \& Jordan, 1903. The following species is sp. nov.: Protambulyx pearsoni described from Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The following species are new records for Brazil: Manduca boliviana (Clark, 1923), Nyceryx lemonia, Xylophanes ploetzi (M\öschler, 1876), and Xylophanes undata Rothschild \& Jordan, 1903. Manduca duquefi Haxaire \& Vaglia, 2007 and Manduca herbini Haxaire, 2014 are probable new country records that need future investigation and confirmation.\"
