| Taxonomic Notes: |
Paonias myops macrops (Gehlen, 1933), proposed as a subspecies of 7825 Paonias myops (Smith, 1797), was raised to full species status in Eitschberger (2002), Neue ent. Nachr. 23: 87 but subsequently treated as a subspecies of myops in Kitching et al. (2018). The inclusion of Paonias emmeli Eitschberger, 2002 as a synonym of macrops in Kitching et al. (2018) extends the known range of macrops into Arizona. The Sphingidae Taxonomic Inventory website (accessed 22 June, 2022) lists macrops as a full species. |
