Urbanus proteus                                                              Urbanus dorantes    

"More reliable for the butterfly watcher is the fact that the hindwing of proteus is narrowly triangular, its outer margin flowing into the tail at an oblique angle. In contrast, the hindwing of U. dorantes is broadly rounded, and its margin joins the tail almost at right angles."
