Abstract:

"The black-based hummingbird hawkmoth, Macroglossum passalus Drury, 1773 is newly recorded from Korea. M. passalus can be characterized by the blackish transverse antemedial band on the forewing with the yellowish medial band on the hindwing. The female genitalia of M. passalus can be characterized by the tubular ostium burse, the long ductus bursae with multiple parallel stripes and posteriorly curved, and the ovate ductus bursae with a long triangular patch of minute signa. To date, seven species of the genus Macroglossum have been recorded in Korea."
