NB: We noted here some taxonomic issues that we believed are not yet resolved. For instance, in saturniids, Citioica anthonilis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) may be morphologically confused with C. guayensis Brechlin & Meister, 2011, a sister species that was recently described. For sphingids, we noted a synonymy between Erinnyis o. obscura (Fabricius, 1775) and E. domingonis (Butler, 1875) as proposed by CATE (2009). In this study, we considered these specimens as two distinct species because we ignored this decision in that time.
