Stained Lophosis, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia

This is the last one from our 2nd moth night in La Planada Nature Reserve, and our 4th moth night in Colombia in 2018, out of 5 nights total. A huge thank you to Christine Young for her tireless efforts in identifying them.

  Tricentrogyna vinacea and Lophosis labeculata are also similar. Posted 6 years ago

    Thanks! So tricky. When checking reference photos of all 3, I'm seeing wildly different appearances all attributed to the same ID. I wonder if those are misidentified or perhaps differences between male/female.
    
    Lophosis labeculata to me looks like the most promising candidate:

      I noticed that too and was wondering as well. I agree that L. Labeculata looks the closest. Posted 6 years ago
