Sphinx Linnaeus, 1758
Sphinx ligustri Linnaeus, 1758
= Sphynx; Pallas (1771: 472) (an incorrect subsequent spelling)
= Spectrum Scopoli, 1777: 413 (TS: Sphinx ligustri Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation by Oiticica (1946))
= Herse Oken, 1815: 762. Included in a work rejected for nomenclatural purposes by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1956 (Opinion 417: 3)
= Lethia Hübner, [1819]: 141 (TS: Sphinx gordius Cramer, [1779] 1777, by subsequent designation by Grote (1873))
= Hyloicus Hübner, [1819]: 139 (TS: Sphinx pinastri Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation by Grote (1873))
= Herse Agassiz, 1846: 35 (TS: Sphinx ligustri Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation by Tutt (1902))
= Hyloecus Agassiz, 1846: 189 (an unjustified emendation of Hyloicus)
= Lintneria Butler, 1876a: 620 (TS: Agrius eremitus Hübner [1823] 1806, by monotypy)
= Gargantua Kirby, 1892: 692 (TS: Agrius eremitus Hubner, [1823]). Proposed as an objective replacement name for Lintneria Butler, 1876 November (which Kirby incorrectly dated 1877), in the mistaken belief that it was preoccupied by Lintneria Edwards, 1877 March (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae). A junior homonym of Gargantua Jullien, 1888: 78 (Bryozoa) (Fletcher & Nye 1982) Hyloecus Kuznetsova, 1906: 295 (an unjustified emendation of Hyloicus)
= Mesosphinx Cockerell, 1920: 33 (TS: Sphinx separatus Neumoegen, 1885, by original designation)
