      I think you're right. There are some similar moths in the Hypocrita, Epidesma, and Aclytia genera. But, Brachyglene schausi looks like the closest match. The difference you noted in the antennae might just be an example of sexual dimorphism with males having more plumose antennae than females. Posted 3 years ago
