? Hyles nicaea (de Prunner, 1798)

Tishchenkov, 2010.

In Odesa Region, it is known by a single report, based on the specimen from the collection of O. M. Arkhipov, bred from a pupa, 04.04.1992, in the village Kuchurgan, Rozdilna District ( Tishchenkov, 2010) ( Fig. 47). Based on the general range, the presence of the species in Odesa Region is doubtful. The nearest populations are known from the territory of the Balkan and Crimean peninsulas ( Efetov & Budashkin, 1990; Zolotuhin & Yevdoshenko, 2019). Verification of the source material is necessary, since an error in the identification of a large and aberrative specimen of H. euphorbiae cannot be ruled out.
