During trips in the last several years, we have seen a cumulative total of over 630 species in Mato Grosso, with most trips averaging about 400 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.
