Hesperiidae, Eudaminae, Urbanus sp. and looks like being Urbanus tanna, almost identical to Urbanus teleus, that's why I made a cf. Some make it easy with calling them just Urbanus tanna/teleus, but I think yours is more Tanna than Teleus. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/urbanus_tanna.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/urbanus_teleus.htm
