Riodinidae/Metalmark, Detritivora sp., unfortunately no chance to getdown to species. Might be D. barnesi, D. hermadora or any other. In any case you need the native specimen and genital and DNA examination and even with that it is tricky. Some of this Detritivora and Calephelis were classified in the beginning of this century!
