Thank you Nina C. Wilde again for the link. After viewing the link I think Cisthene barnesii is a better ID and better geographic location.

Sure! BTW, if you have a moth you can't figure out, you can try skimming through the images on the Moth Photographer's Group website. Cisthene happens to be one of genus groups I recall without having to look up b/c they are quite distinct in their shape and colors.
