| BACK TO LIST OF MOTH FAMILIES |

SUBFAMILY DESCRIPTION
The MACROGLOSSINAE - unlike the Sphinginae - have a patch of sensory hairs on the inner surface of the first segment of the labial palps.

BELIZE SPECIES
I catalogue here all 75 species of Belize Macroglossinae listed in Meerman (1999), with Jan Meerman's kind permission, although I have personally collected only 33 of these. Most species not in my collection are illustrated from elsewhere - please click on any underlined species names to go to a colour illustration of the adult (and sometimes its genitalia) and brief information on the species.
