Résumé :
The current knowledge of European Sesiidae is summarized. Brief information is presented on morphology, life history and ecological requirements, distribution, methods of determination, systematic position of the family and its classification, an overview of hostplants and a checklist of the European species. To date, 119 species belonging to 13 genera are known from Europe. All species are figured, their diagnostic characters, hostplants, length of larval development, time of seasonal occurrence are described, and distribution maps are provided. Where appropriate, references to publications providing new knowledge and necessary comments are added. A table of known presence in European countries is included. Two new synonyms have been established here: Synanthedon cruciati Bettag & Bläsius, 2002, syn. n. of S. loranthi (Králíček, 1966), and Chamaesphecia amygdaloidis Schleppnik, 1938, syn. n. of C. euceraeformis (Ochsenheimer, 1808).
