Thanks (again hehe)... I remember the color of the hindwing, it was orange... So i suppose it is C. drucei.
And about the links at least is more reliable than most things on google

Castniidae, Castniomera sp., it is either Castniomera drucei or Castniomera atymnius futilis: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8063840@N02...
You need to see the hindwing color if it is brown or orange, depending on age and light tricky to distinguish sometimes:
