STI taxonomic comments: 
The authors claim to follow the nomenclature and taxonomic system of Kitching & Cadiou (2000) but actually use the earlier, more split taxonomy of Danner, Eitschberger & Surholt (1998). In the STI, genus Choerocampa as a junior synonym of Deilephila, and Choerocampa suellus as a form of Deilephila porcellus. Furthermore, Akbesia davidi and Theretra alecto are misspelled respectively as Akbesia davidii and Theretra alceto.
