I'm having some trouble identifying this butterfly. It appears to belong to the genus Phyciodes and the closest species I can find is ptolyca (the Black Crescent) but I'm just not certain. I have only one photo to check it against which is in a book and not on the internet. The location is Colima, Mexico. Also, it grew up on a Ruellia (Acanthaceae is the family). Any ideas? I also have photos of the caterpillar and chrysalis.
