Thanks for the info. The 2 species do look an awful lot alike, so I'll take your suggestion and list it as teleus/tanna.
Sorry, I cannot separate them from these shot. That does not mean that I can separate them in any case, they are quite tricky, some people just call it Urbanus teleus/tanna as a compromise.
Bayucca, I just took 2 pictures and here's the other one on my site. http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/154033300
Or Urbanus tanna. Do you have a crispy-sharp shot of the last element of the long creamy stripe on the forewing. Sharp or not ;-)...
