While L. tyobathra looks close, this specimen seems to me to not be the same as the BOLD specimens. The first major white band is not straight as here, but has a bend ion it as is nears the costa, a feature is on most of the ALA photos. Perhaps the species is sexually dimorphic. There seems to be more white on the head of this specimens., On the ALA, speciemns also have an extra white dot near the base of the forewing.
