The Skipper Butterflies (Hesperiidae) of Trinidad. Part 1, Introduction and Pyrrhopyginae

Abstract

Currently, there is no work available dealing with the skipper butterflies of Trinidad, although they make up over a third of our butterfly fauna. Malcolm Barcant's Butterflies of Trinidad and Tobago (1970) covers only butterflies other than skippers. It is hoped that this paper will make a start to remedying that situation.
