Moths are said to have an important ecological role on the stability of terrestrial environment. In this paper, we listed species moths that were collected in three vegetation types in Mt. Kitanglad namely dipterocarp forest, montane forest and agro ecosystem. Thirty three individuals of hawkmoths were collected, and composed of thirteen species namely: Acherontia lachesis, Agrius convolvuli, Ambulyx staudingeri, Amplypterus panopusmindanaoensis, Daphnis hypothous, Gnathothlibus erotus erotus, Hippotion brunneum, Hippotion echeclus, Psilogramma menephron, Theretra nessus, Theretra rhesus, Theretra manilae, Theretra sugii and was described based on the: a) general color of their eyes, thorax, abdomen, and the wings and b) length of the eyes, antennae, hook, proboscis, prothorax, mesothorax, metathorax, forewing, hindwing, legs, eight segments of the abdomen, spine, total body length and wingspread. These morphological descriptions can be the basis of its identification. There are

Dipterocarp forest, Agro ecosystem, Montane forest, Rare endemic, Common endemic.

A total of thirteen species of hawkmoths belonging to nine genera namely: Acherontia, Agrius, Ambulyx, Amplypterus, Daphnis, Gnathothlibus, Hippotion, Psilogramma and Theretra were collected on three vegetation types of Mt Kitanglad namely: montane forest, dipterocarp forest and agro ecosystem. Morphological characteristics that separate genera is in terms of size and color patterns, however for the species level is the presence of spots, dots or bands, color patterns on wings and size. There are 2 rare endemic species, 2 common endemic species, 2 uncommon or local and 7 are Southeast Asia endemic species of hawkmoths were recorded in the study.
