I found this rivellia in Peru, does not seem to me Rivellia hispanica, I think it's a different or new species. The pattern of spots is different wings Rivellia hispanica, someone could help me in their identification. Thank you

The picture did not show up. The system deletes attached pictures if you preview your post.
Most species of
Rivellia are restricted to a single continent. I do not know if it is possible to identify South American species.

Photo sent to me in email attached. The original filename had spaces and an accented character. It would have been rejected by diptera.info.
The wing pattern also resembles
Euxesta and related genera, which are common in tropical America.
