Comparing the photos of Catocala obscura and epione that I found on Internet, the two species are very much alike, but C.epione seems more colorful on the forewings. The moth on your photo is more brownish, which corresponds to Catocala obscura, so I tend to agree with that choice. Not completely sure however....
I agree with Vo Anh Tuan, this is clearly a noctuid moth, in this case Catocala epione. Calledapteryx dryopterata is very different.

Agathia sp., fam. Geometridae. Emerald moth.
What a beauty!
Beautiful series!
Same photo on Wikipedia.
I think this is Cholus annulatus, which is very common in French Guyana. The colour may be black and white, cream or pale orange.
Beautiful photos, Sunnyjoseph!
Common name change done. Excuse me Vo Anh Tuan, I had not seen your message. Thank you.
Thanks again, Rithmini Dinhara.
