As I only have a few days left here in Chile, I think I have found just about every species that the north end of this island can produce. I began this when I arrived and reported on it
here back in November. In a summer of collecting, Concha-Bloomfield and Parra found 9 species here at the center (pdf
here) - I found 16 from October to January. I also managed to photograph every species I encountered.

| Butleria flavomaculata |
My list (
pdf) with photos and some notes (in spanish) is available for download
here and on the downloads page of the blog.
A few more pictures:

| Eroessa chilensis on Fuchsia magellanicus |

| Homoeonympha humilis, on Blechnum sp. |

| Nelia nemyroides |
 |
| Argopteron aureipennis, the most beautiful species here (in my opinion) |
