:S woow (sigh) thank you so much! @bayucca
What a shame, I can't give you my #5800 down to species level... Remella sp. and could be Remella cf. rita/duena (if you look at the BOA link, for both Rita and Duena, the pictures are identical, meaning only DNA can separate the two) or Remella remus or Emella vopiscus. Unfortunately I cannot give a key for separation of the very similar species, so I would go with Remella sp. Personally I slightly tend to Remella cf. rita/duena. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Hesperiinae/Remella_vopiscus_PANAMA_CHIRIQUI_Boquete_25-VII-2007_DAN_WADE_3_i.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Hesperiinae/Remella_rita-duena_Valle_Nacional_OAX_MX_16-V-08_1_i.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Hesperiinae/Remella_remus_F_Monterrey_DN_4fs_i.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/remella_rita-duena.htm Rita/Duena: The location for Rita would be E/W Mexico, whereas Duena is S Mexico, both going down to Guatemala/Panama. Unfortunately Orizaba could be everything of the above mentioned criteria.
