Hi Jose M,

Yes, I think this is a nemestrinid, Atriadops macula (Wied.) -- the only known member of this genus in the new world (Woodley, 2010: MCAD 1, pg. 559). Other Atriadops are found in the old world.

Would you please provide a back-lit photo of a wing, to better show the venation? Thanks,

Eric
