Table A1.

Butterfly species observed in 2011–2021 at two dry forests in Guatemala: Los Cerritos Municipal Park and Heloderma Natural Reserve, based on our previous studies (Yoshimoto et al. 2018, 2019) and on subsequent field surveys (July 2014 to August 2021 at Los Cerritos and October 2017 to November 2021 at Heloderma Reserve). Species and months in bold indicate the data newly obtained in the subsequent surveys. Year information is also shown with sampling months, when necessary. Nomenclature follows Warren et al. (2017).

PH Species photographed.

A Species reported at Tikal in northern Guatemala by Austin et al. (1996).

Y Species reported at Parque Cayalá in Guatemala City by Yoshimoto et al. (2021).

* Specimens not collected (recorded only by direct observation or photographs).

MI Species misidentified in Yoshimoto et al. (2018 or 2019); their previous identification results are shown in Table 1.

1 Listed at the genus level because of the difficulty of species-level identification derived from the confused taxonomic state of this genus.

2 These two species, together with Emesistegula and E.toltec, can be treated as a species complex. These taxa require further study, according to Trujano-Ortega et al. (2021).

3 The genus name, treated as Emesis in Yoshimoto et al. (2019), was modified according to Zhang et al. (2019).

4 The name “hermes” is correctly applied to a South American species, according to Cong and Grishin (2014). Thus, the individuals collected might include multiple species, none of which are true hermes.

5 One sample which was photographed at Heloderma Reserve in October 2016 and was identified as this species in Yoshimoto et al. (2019) was excluded, as we found that it might have been of another species of this genus, which is unable to de determined because of the lack of a specimen.

6 This is a species complex, which includes several species in Costa Rica (Hebert et al. 2004; Brower, 2006, 2010). Thus, the individuals collected might also be of multiple species.

7 These data were included in the species count and Chao II analyses for Heloderma Reserve, since at this site none of the identified species of this genus had been recorded. In contrast, these data have been excluded from the Chao II analysis for all data (pooled across the sites) and from the Jaccard index analyses, as this individual might be of Bollaevippe (Godman & Salvin, 1896), which is unable to be examined because of the heavily damaged specimen of Bolla sp.

8 Identified to genus (Piruna sp.1) and incorrectly listed as Hesperiinae in Yoshimoto et al. (2019).

NR New record for Guatemala.
