Abstract
The first checklist of hawk-moths (Sphingidae) of Croatia is presented. The checklist is based on the examination of museum collections and published records. So far, 22 species have been recorded in Croatia, of which two, Hippotion celerio (Linnaeus, 1758) and Sphingoneopsis gorgoniades (Hübner, 1819) have not been confirmed during recent studies, and their current occurrence in the country needs confirmation. For each species, a distribution map is provided comprising all the available published records as well as records from museum collections in Croatia. For all confirmed and two potential hawk moth species, suggested Croatian common names are provided.
