Hemaris tityus (Linnaeus, 1758) Species
Last modified: Feb. 20, 2021, 3:36 p.m.
A very rare species, mainly in the south of Belgium.
For the time being, it is still uncertain whether this species will still occur after 2004 due to a lack of convincing criteria (photographs), although the species occurs in France very close to the Gaume.
