I would agree with you bayucca after all it sort of looked different from h .biundata.I will try to find the ID for this species
I agree with Notodontidae and Heterocampinae. I do not think it is Heterocampa biundata, the markings are not quite right. But a good start!
For me it looks more like Disphragis and/or Cecrita (change in genus!?). Closer, but not really matching ones are Meretricia, Bochica, Proba. I am not really happy with neither of the three. I will keep an eye on this one.
