Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...genetics suggests representatives of mexicana north of Mexico in the U.S-Rocky Mountains is a distinct species (Thorybes dobra) and I think the genus is suggested to be different also (and not just for dorbra in this group)...I can't remember off my head...too many suggested changes to try to keep track of in the short term.
