Abstract
The authors describe the early stages, totally unknown of the species of Sphingidae emblematic of New Caledonia. They discuss possible host plants of the species, which all belong to the family Cunoniaceae. Without questioning the validity of the Ambulycini tribe, they question its characterization on the criterion of the pupa put forward by Nakamura (1977). All larval stages, from egg to chrysalis, are illustrated.
