Tons of Hesperiidae there.
A quick check just lists Damas clavus. Nick Grishin has sequenced the bug in question, and is pretty sure that it is new.

Great news. Let us know as the ALF is working on a list of FG butterflies.
We have just published a new list, I will check if other Damas species are listed.

Interesting discussion. I do not have any experience in dissecting butterfly genitalia or other advanced identification methods. I would be willing to send parts of the specimens(legs or whatever), or the whole specimens themselves for that matter, for analysis and identification studies. Just point me in the direction to whom and where to send stuff.
