Over the years, we've seen about 700 species on our route in Mato Grosso, with most trips averaging about 340-380 seen species.  This list includes species seen on those trips.  As usual, some are common, some less common, and some quite rare.  I have not included some species that are widespread and fairly common throughout the neotropics.
