I have used the nomenclature from Kitching and Cadiou 2000.
If you have corrections to offer, please contact
Manduca duquefi Haxaire & Vaglia, 2007 (reducta) from Massif du Mitaraka Sud; CATE lists this species from Guyane, Petit Barrage.
Hemaris fuciformis, ?, (Linnaeus, 1758) Remire, Pointe Mahury, à vue de jour, 2/V/2002, (M.Thouvenot), coll. F.Beneluz (Import ??)
Isognathus rimosa papayae is not included on the FG list; CATE lists it for Merida, Venezuela and indicates,
"Unknown number and sex [French Guiana:] Cayenne (Année) [CMNH]; The type locality is doubtful. There is a syntype female in the CMNH that bears an
additional label saying "Colomb." [Colombia], which may be the correct type location
Callionima falcifera is not included on the FG list: CATE as of 2009 continues to show French Guiana in red
Xylophanes ploetzi is not included on the FG list; CATE as of 2009 lists ploetzi for Venezuela: La Vuelta, Caura R.; and Guyana: Rio Demerera; and shows
French Guina in red, supposedly indicating a known presence in that country.This checklist has recently (May 18, 2011) been
created to suggest possibilities for Sphingidae in Suriname. It is currently only a dupliction of what I have for neighbouring
French Guiana, based on a Jean Haxaire publication in Lambillionea, 2/VI/2005, for French Guiana.

* Eitschberger, 2002, split specimens previously listed as Adhemarius ypsilon into two species: true ypsilon and roessleri. One or the other, but not both, flies in French Guiana. Eitschberger indicates roessleri.
