Please, change the scientific name to Isognathus rimosa. You have added the link for it instead of the name, thanks.

Sphingidae, Macroglossinae, Dilophonotini, Isognathus rimosa. Could be the subspecies Isognathus rimosa inclitus. There is also Isognathus rimosa rimosa in Mexico, but no info about the caterpillar.
