Abstract

The first reliable record of Acherontia styx Wstw. from Russia was made in Southern Primorye (Valentin settl. vic., Lazo District). The moth was trapped on July, 1, 2012 in a bird net. The species closely resembles A. atropos L.; it could be distinguished by the absence of black transversal bands on the abdomen ventral surface, and by the yelloworange forewing discal spot (versus whitish in A. atropos L.).
