Jakubko it looks like a good match to me. Too bad I didn't see the underwings, but I don't think that would be a natural pose. Thanks for the ID.

Hi Tom! What an amazing moth! Please confirm! This was the closest match I could find. http://www.boldsystems.org/pics/_w300/MHAUB/02-srnp-17201-dhj313156%2B1140447324.jpg http://www.boldsystems.org/pics/_w300/MHAUB/98-srnp-8031-dhj313155%2B1140463642.jpg By checking BOLD, I found out that Eudryas does not extend to Southern Central America, but it is replaced by several similar tropical genera.
