Manduca lefeburii subsp. bossardi (Gehlen, 1926)

Synonymized with Protoparce lefeburii by Clark, 1928, Proc. New Engl. zool. Club10: 39. Reinstated as a subspecies of Protoparce lefeburii by Mooser, 1940, An. Esc. nac. Cienc. biol. Mexico1: 416. Synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies, and incorrectly attributed to Clark, 1928, Proc. new Engl. zool. Club10: 39, by Bridges, 1993, Cat. Fam. Gen. Spec. Sphingidae of the World: VIII. 15. Reinstated as a subspecies of Manduca lefeburei [sic] by Haxaire, 1995, Bull. Soc. ent. Fr.100: 280 (key), 281; but he also thought that further study might show bossardi to be simply an ecological form, rather than a subspecies. Resynonymized with the nominotypical subspecies by Carcasson & Heppner, 1996, Atlas Neotrop. Lepid.4B: 51. Reinstated as a subspecies by Kitching & Cadiou, 2000, Hawkmoths of the world: 56.
