\"During an 18-year survey, 21 sphingid species belonging to 17 genera were collected in Israel. Eight species were new records for the country [Hyloicus pinastri pinastri (Linnaeus, 1758), Akbesia davidi (Oberth\ür, 1884), Hemaris syriaca [sic] (Daniel, 1939), Hemaris croatica croatica (Esper, 1800), Pterodonta gorgoniades pfeifferi (Zerny, 1933), Hyles nicaea libanotica (Gehlen, 1932) and Hippotion osiris (Dalman, 1823)]. Only one species, Clarina kotschyi (Kollar, 1850), was not found again. The distribution, phenology, ecology, abundance and the association of all species to the main phyto-geographical zones of Israel is discussed.\"
