Notes on some hawk-moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) from the Cape Verde Islands
- The authors carried out a survey of butterflies on 12 of the Cape Verde Islands from 29 October to 18 December 2013. During the survey records were also made of the few hawk-moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) encountered during the day, or feeding at flowers at dusk and dawn. None was collected at light. Since several of our records are believed to be new island records, we present them here. The few voucher specimens collected have been deposited in the Natural History Museum, London.
- Os autores desenvolveram um levantamento de borboletas em 12 ilhas de Cabo Verde entre 29 de outubro e 18 de dezembro de 2013. Durante o estudo, foram igualmente efectuados registos de algumas sphingídeos (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), encontradas durante o dia ou alimentando-se nas flores ao amanhecer e entardecer. Nenhuma foi recolhida através de luz artificial. Dado que possivelmente alguns desses registos serão novos para as ilhas, são também aqui apresentados. Os escassos espécimes ‘voucher’ recolhidos foram depositados no Museu de História Natural de Londres.
