Hi Don, you can believe me it is not Therinia transversaria. If you do not feel comfortable with Therinia stricturaria you can take Therinia sp. or Therinia cf. stricturaria as ID, but not Therinia transversaria. Thanks!

No, it is not Therinia transversaria salax, this is the subspecies from Central America. Therinia transversaria is found in South America, but not Salax. And if you look carefully at the zig-zag lines on the hindwing in yours and compare with the same location of Salax, you might see the differences: In Transversaria there is no zig-zagging...
