I am pretty sure the yellow one is a Copaxa multifenestrata female. There can be yellow as well as brown forms. I do not think escalantei females have such large hyaline spots on the forewings.
The middle one appears to be a Copaxa rufinans female. It is definitely not Copaxa curvilinea.
I am pretty sure the last one with the very grey submarginal areas is Copaxa mazaorum
Do you have wingspans? Do you have more precise locations in the countries mentioned?

Hi Bill
Thank you for your help. Here is extra info you asked for
1/ Yellow one Tlanchinol, Hidalgo State, Mexico 95mm wingspan
2/ Center one Sarapiqui, Costa Rica 92mm wingspan
3/ Far right As Yellow one 105mm wingspan
I have looked at your site and still think the yellow one could be C.escalantei
You are right about center one, but hope to get positive id for for number 3.
Thanks again
Len
