Study on hawkmoths (Sphingidae family) in the Central Highlands of Vietnam (Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, and Lam Dong provinces) was carried out during the years 2016–2022. Light traps and butterfly nets were used to collect specimens of the Sphingidae family in the night and day times. An update checklist of Sphingidae was based on collected specimens in the studied area and combine the review data. Totally, 113 Sphingidae species from the Central Highlands of Vietnam are recorded. Among them, 78 species are recorded from collected specimens and 35 species without collected specimens are compiled from the literatures. Addition, 14 species are herein added to the known list, including one very rare species, Eurypteryx geoffreyi Cadiou & Kitching, 1990, and two endemic species, Griseosphinx marchandi Cadiou, 1996 and Callambulyx schintlmeisteri Brechlin, 1997.

“…They are found across a broad range spanning Southeast Asia (Mohagan et al, 2019). They are known for their captivating charm and wide-ranging variety, also they have received extensive global attention in scientific studies (Norbu et al, 2022). The family Sphingidae exhibits remarkable diversity, with 1700 species (Miller et al, 2022) A total of 118 species of hawkmoths have been documented in the Philippines, with the highest number of species found on the islands of Palawan (73 species), Luzon (72 species), Mindanao, Leyte, and Negros (62 species each).…”

Hawkmoths are referred to as Sphinx moths, as they belong to family Sphingidae family, they play a vital role as ecological indicators and they exhibit remarkable diversity across the globe, with the exception of Antarctica and Greenland. In Bayabason, Maramag, Bukidnon, the chosen habitat types include a semi-urban agroecosystem disturbed area and a man-made understory garden, which have not been previously studied and there are no reported studies in this area. A light trap sampling technique was employed involving the use of a 4x4 white cloth and a 500-watt bulb in two habitat types. A total of eight species from eight genera were documented, none of which were endemic to the Philippines. The findings revealed eight species classified as very rare locally, seven species categorized as common, and only one species was considered rare on a national status. This study highlights the necessity for further research and an extended duration of time for the light-trapping sampling method to capture the full diversity of these species.
