\"The paper summarizes data on the diversity and distribution of the Sphingidae family in the Republic of Moldova. The analysis of our research and literature data, materials from entomological collections in the Museum of Ethnography and Natural History and museum of the Institute of Zoology showed that the Sphingidae family is represented by 20 species, or 53 \% of the European fauna. The Macroglossinae, Smerinthinae and Sphinginae subfamilies consist of 11, 4, and 5 species respectively. Hawk moths have been collected by authors from different parts of Republic of Moldova during 2012-2019. The species Marumba quercus (Denis \& Schifferm\üller, 1775), Acherontia atropos (Linnaeus, 1758), Dolbina elegans (A. Bang-Haas, 1912) and Proserpinus proserpina (Pallas, 1772) are endangered and require protection and conservation.\"
