User's notes

Looks like Hemibela sp. (ANIC 10 is close) but no upturned palpi; so maybe Edosa ochracea but distinct collar and apex shading.

I'm pretty sure I can see the recurved labial palpi closely appressed to the head in photo 2. I think it's Chrysonoma paracycla, although the pinkish hue usually present over the dark apical mark on the forewing. (It's not Hemibela sp 10 , which looks quite different on BOLD)
