COMMENTS: Does not include angulatus, which was transferred to sphinx (see Hill and Thonglongya, 1972). Includes minor, which was listed as distinct by Corbet and Hill (1980:41); see also Hill (1983). Includes archipelagus (see Heaney et al., 1987). Kitchener and Moharadatunkamsi (1991) treated luzoniensis and minutus as separate species, but I follow Hill (1983).
