Se presenta una lista anotada de especies de las familias Bombycidae, Saturniidae y Sphingidae recolectadas en el Parque Nacional Natural Utría, Chocó, Colombia. El muestreo se realizó en cuatro hábitats del parque durante 31 días, utilizando una trampa de luz con un bombillo de vapor de mercurio. Se registraron 35 especies: 19 Saturniidae, 15 Sphingidae y 1 Bombycidae. Por primera vez para el departamento del Chocó se registran 18 especies. Se resaltan los registros de las especies Syssphinx chocoensis, endémica del Chocó colombiano, Manduca dalica dalica depositada por primera vez en una colección colombiana y el quinto instar de Isognathus scyron. El número de individuos recolectados concuerda con la hipótesis de la fobia lunar. El presente trabajo es la primera aproximación a la diversidad de estas familias para el Parque Nacional Natural Utría.

A list of species and a photographic catalog of moths of the family Sphingidae reported for Colombia is presented. Following examination of 1463 specimens deposited in major entomological collections of Colombia, and a review of the literature, 188 species are reported for the country, of which 19 species and Phryxus genus are reported for the first time for Colombia. The genus Xylophanes has the most species recorded and also the most geographical records. The Andean region has the highest number of records. A diagnosis of each subfamily and genus, comments on the biology of many of the reported species and dichotomous keys are also presented.

1. Global insect decline has recently become a cause for major concern, particularly in the tropics where the vast majority of species occurs. Deforestation is suggested as being a major driver of this decline, but how anthropogenic changes in landscape structure affect tropical insect communities has rarely been addressed.2. We sampled Saturniidae and Sphingidae moths on 27 farms located in Brazilian Amazonia (Par a state) and characterised by different deforestation histories. We used functional traits (forewing length, body mass, wing load, trophic niche breadth and resource use strategy), analysed by combining RLQ and null model analyses, to investigate the responses of their taxonomic and functional diversity to landscape change dynamics and current structure.3. We found that communities had a higher proportion of large and polyphagous species with low wing load in landscapes with low forest quality and relative cover and high land use turnover. This was mainly due to a significant response to deforestation by saturniids, whereas the more mobile sphingids showed no significant landscape-related pattern. We also observed an overall increase of species richness and functional dispersion in landscapes that have been deforested for a long time when compared with more recent agricultural settlements.4. Our results highlight the complex way in which landscape structure and historical dynamics interact to shape Neotropical moth communities and that saturniid moths
