Altogether, Figure~\ref{fig:quench_times} indicates a complex dependence of the environmental quenching timescale on satellite $\mstar$.
Specifically, the typical timescale for satellites in the MW/M31 halos increases with $\mstar$, from $\lesssim1\gyr$ at $\mstar<10^7\msun$ to $\sim5\gyr$ at $\mstar\approx10^{8.5}\msun$.
\citet{Wheeler2014} indicate that this mass dependence continues, though with a rapid increase ($\sim2\times$) to $\approx9.5\gyr$, and no change from $\mstar\approx10^{8.5}$ to $10^{9.5}\msun$.
This rapid increase implies some tension with our results, specifically, the two satellites of M31, NGC 205 and M32 ($\mstar\approx10^{8.5}\msun$), unless either (1) both experienced unusually early infall
replace_contentgt;9.5\gyr$ $>9.5\gyr$ ago, or (2) M31 quenches its satellites particularly rapidly, even compared with the massive hosts in \citet{Wheeler2014}.
%(\citeauthor{Wheeler2014}'s results are consistent with the star-forming LMC/SMC of the MW.)
Finally, \citet{Wetzel2013} indicate that the quenching timescale rapidly \emph{decreases} at $\mstar>5\times10^9\msun$ and continues to decline with increasing $\mstar$.
Overall, the typical environmental quenching timescales are shortest for the lowest-mass satellites and is longest for satellites with $\mstar\sim10^9\msun$ (roughly Magellanic-Cloud mass).
