for wanda dameron with apologies to the list

[John Shuey]

(wanda - your server thinks I'm spamming you and rejects my mail - so
here's the reply I sent out)

Wanda

Sorry about the delay - I've been out of the office almost constantly,

The only one I know off the top of my head is Ortilia - which is a
tropical
crescent.  I've been continuing to chip away at Belize, but my last two
trips did
not allow time for collecting - pure meetings and that was all.  Looks
Like I'll
be in the Bay of Honduras region of Guatemala in a couple of months -
but again
probably won't have any time to collect.   I've slow to get descriptions
of new
species together, but definitely have a few skippers and 1-2
hairstreaks.

Sorry I could be more help.

John
