Lemaire, a saturniid authority and personal friend, very kindly made the genitalic preparations. Dr. T. R. Adkins of Clemson University allowed me to bag tulip trees in his yard for two summers.

COCYTIUS DUPONCHEL (SPHINGIDAE): SECOND UNITED STATES
CAPTURE
On 30 September 1975 while operating a UV light along Route 29 near Immokalee, Collier Co., Florida, the author took a large male sphingid that under the light appeared to be the resident species, Cocytius antaeus (Drury). Upon mounting the specimen, it tentatively was indentified as Cocytius duponchel (Poey). The specimen was sent to William Sieker of Madison, Wisconsin who confirmed the identification as C. duponchel.
This constitutes only the second U.S.A. record for this neotropical species. The other capture of C. duponchel within the U.S.A. is from Edwards Co., Texas in May 1902 (Hodges 1971, Moths of North America, Fascicle 21, Sphingoidea, 25). The specimen has been deposited in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods in Gainesville, Florida.
