Hi Jorick,

I can't give advice on the ID as I don't have experience in the region but there is Protographium agesilaus in the database, that seems to be the same species to me: https://observation.org/species/583502/

If I'm not mistaken, the species database from https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/Neotropical.htm has once been imported into observation.org in the early years to have all the nearctic & neotropical species in observation.org. So I guess that Protographium is the older name and it should be Eurytides nowadays (see https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/t/Eurytides_agesilaus_a.htm). Feel free to ask for an adjustement here but if you do, check for all former Protographium species then. Meanwhile you can use the old name.

Er zijn wel meer gelijkende soorten, naast Eurytides (Protographium) agesilaus zou ik ook kijken naar Eurytides (of Protesilaus?) glaucolaus en E. (of P.?) molops.

Martin.

P.S. Op pad gaan is leuker dan achter de P.C.!

Dank beiden voor jullie tijd en opmerkingen! Ik ga nog even puzzelen. Ik ken de variatie per land en de verspreiding uiteraard niet. Ik houd het voor nu even op E. Agesilaus.
Dank en groet!
