Remella rita
First time I see this Skipper with the chocolate and cream wings tips.
Thank you so much for the ID, bayucca, they are both very similar, I would go with the Remella Rita but as you said they are not distinguishable without genital dissection and/or DNA examination....
Hesperiidae, Remella sp.. Unfortunately there are two species which are not distinguishable without genital dissection and/or DNA examination. In my eyes it is either Remella rita or Remella duena. BOA has both species together. The range for Remella duena indicated Mexico to Guatemala might not be reliable due to the above mentioned criteria.
