Please, change the ID in Hemiargus cf. hanno. Hanno is found in Costa Rica as well.

To really exclude Huntingtoni I would need to see the dorsal side. Hanno is more common than Huntingtoni.

Should be Hemiargus huntingtoni hannoides, but for once I am not 100% sure. Please, verify. There were some renamings of these Blues. Hemiargus hanno looks identical, should however, not be found in Costa Rica, but South America.
