Taxonomic Notes:
Fellowes Manson, 1930, J. Bombay Nat. hist. Soc. 34: 202, repeated Clark's description. Bridges, 1993, Cat. Fam. Gen. Spec. Sphingidae of the World: VIII.3, erroneously interpreted this as the description of a homonymous taxon. Transferred to Amplypterus by d'Abrera, 1987, Sphingidae Mundi: 52.
