A moth that mimics Parides.

 Could any one help on this. I caught a large dusky-black moth with red spots on the hind wings and white spots on the uppers.
The labial palpi are enlongated and project out from the head like psuedo antennae. In flight it looks like a Parides. It was caught in Villavicencio, Colombia at 450 mt altitude. I´m curious as to where else this moth is found and if there are any more moth Parides-mimics.       Greg Nielsen
