That won't be easy, but I'll give it a try. Note the strongly bifurcated antenna, so it must be in Diachlorini. That gives me a headstart.... Theo |

It is somewhere in or near the genus Dichelacera. It should be obvious to the experts: I can't find Dichelacera or lookalikes with completely dark wings from Panama. Theo |

I have been fooled by the light. The wings are not completely dark, the base is clear (but difficult to see). So this is 100 % Diachelacera and the species is nearby crocata Theo |
