Coordinator notes: Sorry, but I think I misidentified this the first time as Cissia themis. Note the four spots or eyes at top and an extra "black-eyed" spot at bottom, neither of which is true for the Cissia themis. The only Satyr with the four spots at top and the extra eye at bottom is the Hermeuptychia harmonia which is common in Costa Rica. Thus I am changing this to Hermeuptychia harmonia.
Checklist region(s): Costa Rica
