Ambulyx tenimberi (Clark, 1929)

valid
Type data:
HOLOTYPE ♂ [Indonesia:] "Tenimber" «Sulawesi [Utara], Tondano,» 1 928 [CMNH]. Cadiou & Holloway, 1989, Lambillionea 89: 135, noted that the holotype label states that the specimen originated from Sulawesi (Celebes: Tondano), not “Tenimber” as stated in the original description. A. tenimberi is not known from Tanimber, all known specimens are from Sulawesi. Thus, the type locality is considered to be erroneous.
Taxonomic Notes:
Transferred to Ambulyx by Cadiou & Holloway, 1989, Lambillionea 89: 135.
