I think this is more likely Asura compsodes

Asura compsodes, bipars and cervicalis are similar and variable species. Looking again today at the ANIC specimens, I think the likeliest identification of the photo is cervicalis, based both on wing pattern and its more southern distribution. But the safest indentification would be Asura sp.
