Can I see the underside please, and where in Mexico is it from?
It looks like Eurytides epidaus epidaus, from Gulf of Mexico side of the country.
Adam.

I can't actually be 100% certain, but looking again and at the underside, it is likely to be ssp. fenochionis (Guerrero, SW Oaxaca & Morelos) beacuse of the complete hindwing discal band (broken in epidaus) and quite long faint submarginal band of the forewing (short in epidaus). This specimen is somewhat intermediate, and without data it is not possible to be certain which subspecies it belongs to.
