Abstract:

"In this paper, we report Ambulyx tattina (Jordan, 1919) from the Great Nicobar, a new addition to the Sphingid fauna of India. Additionally, we report four species of Sphingidae i.e., Apocalypsis velox Butler, 1876, Cechenena helops helops (Walker, 1856), Pergesa acteus (Cramer, [1779]), and Theretra silhetensis (Walker, 1856) for the first time from Nicobar. An updated checklist with 28 species under 18 genera of Sphingidae of the great Nicobar Island is given."
