Remarks. Acherontia styx subsp. styx was reported from Pakistan from Faisalabad, Sialkot, Bahawalpur, Lahore, Layyah and Okara by Mehmood et al. (1996). This subspecies is found from north-central and western China, westward across northern Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Iran to Saudi Arabia and Iraq ( Pittaway & Kitching, 2013; Pittaway, 2013). It is replaced by A. styx subsp. medusa in Japan, Korea, eastern China, Vietnam, peninsular Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia (as far as the Moluccas).
