Thank you again, bayucca. I know that itis a duplicate spotting, but I like how this one shows the underwing colors! :-)

It is absolutely not an easy one. There is almost no reasonable info about this family. It is one of my favorite family of moths, but at the moment I can't get closer. I hope that my visit in the Museum of natural History in Vienna this summer will give me some opportunity to study these ones a little bit more...

Wow, that was fast. Good to have an easy one every once on a while, huh? Thanks as always.
