Thank you very much for the ID.

Thanks Michael.
I thought I had written tis earlier but clearly not!
I seem to have a draft copy of it to delete.

Thank you.
They seem to vary in looks and this is certainly similar. I know nothing about such things and was looking for a pretty exact match.

I photographed a similar one near Jundiai.
I will use your Chauliognathus reference as a possible ID.

Thanks.
With a digital camera you can take a lot of photos which you could not do pre digital days.

Thank you.
Certainly nearer than anything I found.
I never know how much variety a species might have.

I am not not an expert on moths. In quite a few types the males have feathery antennae and these are not feathery. However, whether that is the case in this genus I am not certain.
Thus I may be wrong.

Thanks Mark.
They do look almost the same to me. I can find these in Brazil but there seems to be little detail as to where the various copaxa species are found.

I guess that does happen.

An attractive species.
