Although I believe these "tribal"
checklists contain only species within Honduras,
I fully expect there are omissions and/or improper entries. If you have corrections
to offer, please contact
Those species followed by a 1, 2, 3, 4, and/or 5 are confirmed by Robert Lehman for
1) La Ceiba, Atlantida;
2) San Pedro Sula, Cortes;
3) La Lima, Cortes;
4) Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazan;
5) Zamorano, El Paraiso.

Those species followed by SC are additions based on the Samayoa/Cave Catalogo. Those species followed by * are confirmations based on that Catalogo.
The Catalogo indicates peak flights in June and September.
