      Genus looks promising, as for species, struggling to find any reference images. Do you have some? Posted 3 years ago

        But now I think A. bolivari is a better match though less elongated.

            Sorry don't know why but anyway I uploaded the image to Lep Guides and those were the options without obvious head stripes but as I say I think A. bolivari looks very close though apparently only recorded in Venezuela. Posted 3 years ago

              Actually A. bolivari looks like a really long shot in terms of occurrence so don't know what to do with it. Posted 3 years ago

                Thanks for the updates, Peter. In my experience, this particular group of moths are extremely hard to identify. Quite frustrating how such a beautiful group is relatively poorly documented. I certainly lack the skill to come to an ID on this one, sorry. Posted 3 years ago
