Abstract

Based on the authors’ own collections, as well as taking into account existing entomological collections and literary references, an updated annotated list of species of hawk moths (Sphingidae) recorded in the Belgorod region, including 18 species, is provided. Two more species, registered in the region and being migrants, can be found in the region. One species, Hyles hippophaes (Esper, 1793), was recorded for the first time for the Belgorod region. Among the 7 species included in the Red Book of the Belgorod Region, one species – Agrius convolvuli (Linnaeus, 1758), according to our observations, should be excluded from the list, since it is a migrant in this territory.

Funding: the work of A.Yu. Matov was supported by theme of state assignment no. 122031100272-3 "Systematics, morphology, ecophysiology and evolution of insects".
