Apparently, all Melittia in the Western Hemisphere has been replaced by Eichlinia by Gorbunov, 2020.

Russian Entomol. J. 29(3): 276–284 © RUSSIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL JOURNAL, 2020 Establishment of Eichlinia gen.n. for the Western hemisphere Melittiini (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), with a catalogue of the genus.

This means that all Melittia species become Eichlinia. Named after the late Dr. Tom Eichlin who spent years working on Sesiidae.
