The Skipper Butterflies (Hesperiidae) of Trinidad Part 7, Genera Group E (First Section)

Abstract

This is the seventh in a continuing series on the identification and biology of the Trinidad Hesperiidae. Based upon the classification of Evans (1952, 1953 etc.), three subfamilies and 14 genera groups are found in Trinidad: Pyrhopyginae (Group A), Pyrginae (Groups B-G) and Hesperiinae (Groups L-M, O). This contribution covers the first 18 out of 43 species of Genera Group E, although three of the species covered here are considered to need confirmation.
