| Memo: | Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Ochsenheimer, 1808, Schmett. Eur. 2: 183-256, divided the genus SPHINX Linnaeus, 1758, into five sections, which he termed Families. In an anonymous review, later attributed to Ochsenheimer (1816, Schmett. Eur. 4: v) to Laspeyres, the four species included in Ochsenheimer's Family IV were separated into two genera; three species were placed in SPHINX, and ACHERONTIA was proposed for atropos. ACHERONTIA was included within the subfamily SPHINGIDAE: SPHINGINAE by Lemaire & Minet, in Kristensen (1999). Kitching & Cadiou (2000) list * ATROPOS Oken, 1815; ATROPOS Agassiz, 1846; BRACHYGLOSSA Boisduval, 1828; and * MANDUCA Hübner, 1806 as junior names of ACHERONTIA Laspeyres, 1809. |
