Thank you, bayucca. I see your point. I mistakenly assumed that the orange on the antenna clubs was distinctive to the P. cocyta.

Nymphalidae, Nymphalinae, Melitaeini, so smae as Phyciodes. But looking at the markings, I only know 1 species with these white spots on the hindwing: Chlosyne nycteis. Please, check yourself. What do you think? http://bugguide.net/node/view/1106652/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/429/bgimage Phyciodes cocyta for comparison: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1212565/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/25729/bgimage
