There are certainly lots of rare bug and lep records from Tamaulipas,
Mexico. Here's a specimen of a tiger moth that apparently falls into
that category. It was collected by Jesús García Jiménez, a biologist
at the Instituto Tecnológico de Ciudad Victoria. Texas Lepidoptera
Survey provided the determination. Thanks all!

MEXICO: Tamaulipas,
Rancho El Cielo, Gómez Farías,

I don't find it listed in Biologia Centrali-Americana, Catalogue of
the Neotropical Tiger-moths, or in any of the following database,
search options:

    * Butterflies & Moths of Guanacaste, Costa Rica - Janzen and Hallwachs
    * Season Summary - Lepidopterists' Society
    * All-Leps:: Barcode of Life
    * Journal of The Lepidopterists' Society
    * Lepidoptera - Markku Savela
