Coordinator notes: I continue to be concerned about putting these butterflies in the "Rounded Metalmark" bucket when I believe that they are a subspecies of this, something like what Glassberg calls "Bright Scintillant." I really wish that there was another identification for this butterfly that is common where I live now in Costa Rica.
