BELIZE SPECIES
I catalogue here all 75 species of Belize Macroglossinae listed in Meerman (1999),
with Jan Meerman's kind permission,
although I have personally collected
only 33 of these. Most species not in my collection are
illustrated from elsewhere -
please click on any underlined species names to go to a colour
