Here, is a specimen that I have which has the name Thecla pronuba on its pin label. The data says Jalapa but, I cannot make out the country due to lousy handwriting. Acquired from a collection being parted out a few years back... If you post a photo of the label someone may be able to read it. Adam.

Thanks Adam for the suggestion. I ended up showing my wife the label and she said right away O'h that word is Guatemala !
I'm sure glad some people have a good eye for bad penmanship !

Acquired from a collection being parted out a few years back... It looks like Atlides polybe - a nice bug. Jalapa is a city in Mexico and Guatemala (and probably other countries as well). John

By the way, I love hairstreaks - almost as much as skippers! Just to prove that not everything in my collection is as rough from the field as the Calycopis looked, here is the genus Janthecla. Most of these (Belize and Brazil) collected by me. Three species in Belize - the top two unit trays (janthena and janthodonia ) and the bottom-left tray (rocena) from Belize. The J. rocena was a country record last summer at Caracol Ruins where I did not have a net, but I did have a small killing jar in my pocket. It was looking for minerals and landing on the limestone of the ruins. I followed it around for about 5 minutes taking stabs at it with the jar. But it was very forgiving, and would just fly off a few meters before settling again on the limestone. Very nerve racking, thinking that this was a "new to Belize" bug but not entirely sure what species I was really looking at... John

Thank you again John for that species (det.) and locality !
My dear wife actually deciphered the locality merely looking at it; an eye for bad handwriting I guess.
I corrected the species name in my post as the name on the specimen says (polybe )and not pronuba.
I mistakenly typed pronuba as I was admiring a specimen of Noctua pronuba at the time which I caught last summer.
Note to self: no doing two science type things at the same time !
