The Site includes most verified information for every sphingid species and subspecies recorded from the Eastern Palaearctic and concentrates on the taxonomy, biology, ecology and biogeography of each taxon. For many species there is collated information from Chinese literature sources that are difficult to obtain in the West. The phylogenetic sequence of genera and taxonomy of species follows Kitching & Cadiou (2000) (with the exception of Callambulyx sichangensis, q.v.). Species/subspecies are treated alphabetically within genera. Under each species/subspecies there is the original description and type locality (interpreted as necessary), and all of the following data categories, where known. Data on original descriptions and type localities are given. The Site includes observations and discussion of taxonomic questions pertinent to the taxon. This section is not included for every species. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The official website of the Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology provides information on the society and its activities. The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology membership is composed of approximately 2,000 researchers that study insects, mites, spiders, nematodes, birds and other animals. These researchers are engaged in both basic and applied research activities for plant and animal protection, especially pest control, environmental preservation, utilization of insects and other related areas. The Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology was founded in 1957, as a result of a merger between the Japanese Society for Applied Zoology (Journal: Oyo-Doubutsugaku Zasshi), founded in 1929, and the Nippon Society of Applied Entomology (Journal: Oyo-Kontyu), founded in 1938. The Society publishes two quarterly journals: Japanese Journal of Applied Entomology and Zoology (text in Japanese, abstract in English) and Applied Entomology and Zoology (in English). Tables of Contents of both journals are available. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
