Coordinator notes: This could be Rothschildia forbesi, based on the more oval and less triangular hindwing hyaline spots. I suspect there are other Rothschildia species that far down into Mexico it could be also. It is almost certainly in the Rothschildia genus. Kelly
Based on geography and maculation, this is likely Rothschildia cincta . R. St. Laurent
