The striped hawk-moth (''Hyles livornica'') is a moth of the family Sphingidae. ==Taxonomy and systematics== Eugen Johann Christoph Esper described the striped hawk-moth in 1780 using a specimen found in Italy at Livorno (hence the Latin name "livornica"). In 1819 Jacob Hübner allocated this species in his newly erected genus ''Hyles''. Until the 20th century ''Hyles livornica'' has been considered conspecific with the American ''Hyles lineata'' and is therefore under that name (or as ''Celerio lineata ssp. livornica'') found in the older literature. Similar was the case with the ''Hyles livornicoides'', which is prevalent in Australia. ''Hyles renneri'' from Nepal is sometimes treated as a valid species. On the basis of DNA testing is well established that ''H. livornica'' in its entire Afro-Palaearctic distribution forms a genetic and taxonomic unit. This results in the following relationships among the Palaearctic widespread species of the genus Hyles: }} }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyles livornica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
