Bayucca, the link you provided exemplifies the problems I face when trying to ID insects. First it tells that "Butterflies in the genus Achlyodes are known variously as Batwings, Bat Skippers or Sicklewings. There are 5 species : (...); mithridates - found on most Caribbean islands and on the mainland from Texas to Peru; (...). Ahead it states that "The southern subspecies thraso occurs from Costa Rica to Peru". It happens that Curitiba, my home town is very, very far from Peru, and I probably would skip it when looking for an ID for this skipper. Now that I know its name, I'll look for other info about it, trying to know if this is the first time it was found here.
