Hyles dahlii is a moth of the family Sphingidae first described by Carl Geyer in 1828.
It is found on Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearic Islands. On rare occasions it is found on Sicily and along the north-eastern coast of Spain. It was introduced to Tunisia in the mid 1980s.
On Menorca, the Hyles dahlii population consists of a hybrid with Hyles euphorbiae . Due to this hybridisation, only few characteristics of Hyles dahlii are present in the imago. There is also hybridisation on Malta. Here it is a hybrid between Hyles dahlii and Hyles tithymali . Research suggests that Hyles dahlii is in fact a species which evolved from Hyles tithymali through isolation. [2]
The wingspan is 65–85 mm.
Adults are on wing from May to June and from August to September in two generations. The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants, including Euphorbia paralias , Euphorbia myrsinites , Euphorbia characias , Euphorbia dendroides , Euphorbia pithyusa , Euphorbia pinea and Euphorbia terracina .

Marumba cristata, the common striped hawkmoth, is a species of moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from the Himalaya, through Nepal and north-east India, southern and central China to western Malaysia (Sundaland).
Hyles nervosa, the Ladakh hawkmoth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. The species was first described by Walter Rothschild and Karl Jordan in 1903. It is found in eastern Afghanistan, northern and western India, northern Pakistan and the extreme west of the Xizang province and Tibet.

Hyles perkinsi, or Perkin's sphinx, is a species of moth of the family Sphingidae. It was described by Otto Herman Swezey in 1920. It is endemic to the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Molokai.
Hyles sammuti is a moth of the family Sphingidae. Kitching and Cadiou (2000) treat it as a valid species, while Pittaway treats it as a subspecies of Hyles tithymali, seeing the larvae are very similar to Hyles tithymali mauretanica. Based on studies of the mitochondrial DNA, Hyles sammuti probably hybridises with Hyles euphorbiae. It is known from Malta, but there are closely related populations found on Sicily and southern Italy, which might prove to be the same species.
Ampelophaga rubiginosa is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It was described by Otto Vasilievich Bremer and William Grey in 1853. It is found from north-eastern Afghanistan, east around the southern margin of the Himalaya to Yunnan, then throughout China to the Russian Far East, the Korean Peninsula and Japan. It is also found south through Thailand and Vietnam to Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia.
Hyles annei is a moth of the family Sphingidae.

Hyles robertsi, the spurge hawkmoth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. The species was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1880. It is known from Iran, the Kopet Dag Mountains of Turkmenistan, eastward to central and eastern Afghanistan, Kashmir and the Pamirs. It is also known from western Pakistan. Some authors consider it to be a subspecies of Hyles euphorbiae.
