contigua?
I'd vote for contigua, b/c the the yellow lateral band is more continuous as opposed to the broken lateral bands of yellow on your other options. The dorsal line seems a bit less prominent than some of the other choices too. Confusa also seems to be a close match. I'd wait for a more definitive suggestion for the ID than mine, as I'm not an expert.

Thanks! The only species I
Thanks!

The only species I have observed here is Haploa clymene as adults; never any of the others. I remain confused.
