Re-identifying this as Epeiromulona biloba:

In terms of black dots and overall color, I think it's a much stronger match compared to Epeiromulona thysanata, which is overall yellow. Hope you agree.

I agree, Ferdy. Thanks. The specimen in the image also keys out to E. biloba in Field´s (1952) key to the species of Epeiromulona (Field, W.B. 1952. Moths of the genus Epeiromulona, a new genus of Lepidoptera. Proceedings of the United States National Museum 102: 455-469. https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/53447#page/527/mode/1up). But rather than the black markings, the white color of the legs (instead of yellow) is diagnostic. Thanks again. Posted 3 years ago
