Maliau Basin moths

[Painted Jezebel]

To start the thread, here are the Sphingidae I came across. If anyone has other Hawkmoths, please advise, before I send my list to Ian Kitching in London.

1) Ambulyx canescens
2) Ambulyx moorei
3) Ambulyx substrigilis (note that this is the usual form, not f. cana as shown from Danum Valley last year)
4) Daphnusa ocellaris
5) Theretra latreillii
6) Smerinthulus quadripunctatus cottoni - CORRECTION, newly described species, Smerinthulus laurae (Brechlin 2014)
