Mating Horama plumipes

Dec. 30 2013 near Merida

VC I have looked through the few butterfly books I own and think this is a very variable family Called Horama (oedippus is one species) they mimic wasps and there are 10 known species
In 1983 when the book was printed they were being studies by R.E.Dietz of the U.S. National Museum of Natural History.

Thank you dean ! Next to this species I also saw a closely related one from which I will upload some pictures later.

My knowledge of moths from the Americas is limited, but I feel reasonably confident calling this Horama plumipes.

Thanks again condor !

Found a revision about this genus, some intresting reading :
