Butterflies of Monteverde

Hesperiidae - Skippers

This is a partial list of the hesperiid species recorded from the Monteverde region of the Tilarán Mountain Range in northern Costa Rica above 700 m in elevation on both slopes. I have included only species for which specimens have been determined by Andrew Warren, Oregon State University. I will update the list as additional determinations become available.
