Coordinator notes: I agree this could be an intermediate between isobeon and cecrops; however, hindwing markings are split between the 2 species--narrow-moderate red band more like isobeon, spots more like cecrops. The forewing looks more like isobeon. Thus, the preponderance of the traits seems isobeon, so I am calling it that species. SAT
