Some Casbis sp are difficult to tell apart when you only have a photo of a single specimen, as there are wing pattern elements that appear in more than one species and the elements vary within species. This specimen might also be Casbia pallens - compare the main fw mark with photo 18 on p13 of MoV, and the same mark appears in some ANIC melanops specimens. There are also other Casbia possibilities.

Following a new record of the same species identified as Cabia pallens, I'm moving this to that species
