Coordinator notes: This is the Vetulus Skipper. Darker ground than Juventus and the spots are not elongated. Vettius vetula is similar but doesn't have the FW apical spots. Butterflies of America gives the range only as far south as Costa Rica, but it's very likely this species extends into Panama.
