Sericoptera mahometeria

Thank you so much bayucca. I will edit and place the ID, It is so beautiful, I wish it had a cuter name!? : )
Geometridae, Ennominae, Sericoptera sp.. It is either Sericoptera mahometaria or Sericoptera chiffa, both reported from Costa Rica. Until now nobody could tell me how to separate them, so I would go with Sericoptera sp., although S. mahometaria is more common than S. chiffa.
