List of butterflies of Trinidad and Tobago

List of the butterfly species of Trinidad and Tobago, an island nation located in the Caribbean region off the northeast coast of South America.

The combined efforts of generations of resident and visiting naturalists have helped to make the butterfly fauna of Tobago well known.

This list follows Malcolm Barcant (1970) who is the main source of information on the butterflies of Tobago.

Other butterflies commonly seen in the dry season in the south west of the island are the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), the white peacock (Anartia jatrophe), the brown peacock (Anartia amathea), the West Indian buckeye (Junonia evarete) and the red rim (Biblis hyperia).

In the rain forest, on the main ridge, butterflies are quite scarce at this time of year.
