A new hesperiid (flicker) on Guam?

Primary tabs

Dr. Hide Chiba from Japan has asked me to be on the look out for Hylephila philaeus, a species of skipper (Hesperiidae) which has not been collected from Guam. Dr. Chiba has a photo of this species taken by a tourist visiting Guam. Have a look at the attached PDF for images and description.
