Pterourus garamas abderus
Una mariposa grande antes llamada Papilio garamas, con una envergadura de 80 - 110 milímetros. Las hembras son dimórficas, bien se asemeja a las formas masculinas u oscuras que carecen de la media crema y bandas post discal que contrastan con el color de fondo negro profundo.
Bosque subtropical perturbado.

When people talk about Orizaba, they called (La zona centro del estado de Veracruz) that's why I said that I'm in the middle, I'm wrong :( @bayucca
I thought you were in the middle..., meaning in the middle of nowhere, if you take E, W, N or S.
Both photos was taken in the same place, and right now I'm in the middle :) why @bayucca....thank you so much!
Actual taxon is Pterourus garamas.http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/pterourus_garamas_abderus.htm
Papilio is, however, not wrong...
I would leave it as Papilio garamas. I was in Mexico myself, but still have NO idea about the geographic/lepidopteran borders. Where is East and West and where is South and North and if you are in the middle, where are you actually?? ;-)...
BTW: Obviously this one is now called Pterourus garamas. I do not now why there are 2 links for the same from BOA, one with Pterorous and the other with Papilio. Kim Garwood has it also as Pterorous garamas.

Again Tamaulipas is in the North, so yours is probably not Abderus.

My previous link in the other one is definitely from the North!

Papilionidae, Papilio garamas, can't tell you the subspecies.
Too many around and too many overlappings.
