Chlorostrymon orbis

[Sebbe]

An annotated list of Jamaican butterflies of potential conservation concern.

Chlorostrymon orbis K. Johnson & D. Smith, 1993 (Lycaenidae: Theclinae)The female type of this distinctive species was collected in November 1919 by Frederick W. Jackson while this insect was visiting Eupatorium villosum Sw. (Asteraceae), on the southern flanks of Dallas Mountain. Details of the identification of this site are described in Discovering Jamaican Butterflies (Turner & Turland, 2017). The type locality has not been visited in recent years and the insect might still be found there even though it has been many years since this butterfly was collected. Recommendations: The habitat needs to be visited in June-August and November-December to see if this insect might still be present. This is the same location where C.hartii and other hairstreaks have been collected.
