| Abstract: | "A list of 48 Sphingidae species (Lepidoptera) from southern Maranhão, Brazil, is presented placed in three subfamilies: Sphinginae (8), Smerinthinae (3), Macroglossinae (37). The female of Nyceryx mielkei Haxaire, 2009 is described and figured for the first time. Orecta comus sp. n. is described and compared to the similar species, O. lycidas (Boisduval, [1875]), differing mainly in the width of the marginal band on the forewing underside and male genitalia. The male holotype is deposited in the Col. Padre Jesus S. Moure, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil." |
