H. rosetta (Swinhoe, 1892)

Plate 3, Fig. 45

Material examined. PAKISTAN, [Punjab,] Rawalpindi, xi. 1889 (BMNH).

Remarks. This species was recorded in Pakistan from Karachi by Younus & Kamaluddin (2010). Hippotion rosetta has a similar distribution to H. boerhaviae, but has reached more offshore and oceanic islands (e.g. the Maldives, Cocos Islands, the Ryukyu Archipelago and Palau), although it has yet to be recorded from New Caledonia; it has also colonized Hawaii (Pittaway & Kitching, 2013). Adults can only be reliably distinguished from H. boerhaviae by examination of the male genitalia; the larvae are more distinct.
