    I was thinking Eois dorisaria. It looks a lot like this, and statistically a good candidate. However, Eois dorisaria seems to have very pointy edges from the dark area to the yellow, which I do not see in your photo.

    Eois catana does seem to have the smooth transition:

      You're right about the latter and I think I have Eois dorisaria coming up. Posted 5 years ago

    I think this is neither E. catana nor E. dorisaria, but I fail to find a name for it. I sugest living it as Eois sp. It could be an undescribed species. Posted 5 years ago
