Nice find, Ferdy.
This is likely to be from the genus Libethra, which are known from South America and Mexico.
There are more than 30 known species from the genus Libethra, of which 8 were described in 2011 and 2 in 2017. According to friends who are familiar with this genus, ID beyond the genus is rather difficult because many (!!!) species remain undescribed, and the polymorphism in the species tends to be high.
