Butterflies of the Dominican Republic

All the butterflies I've photographed in the Dominican Republic in presumed taxonomic order. A lot of these are unidentified as I have not yet found a good resource which identifies the species found in the DR. I did find an online checklist of the butterflies on the "Butterflies and Moths of North America" site, though I don't know how exhaustive it is...species I've found on iNaturalist do not show up on the checklist, so I suspect that it is not complete.
