Thank you bayucca for the correct ID and the link.

Autochton cellus has slightly different spots on the forewing. What do you think about Aguna asander?? In many pictures you will see a stronger white band as in yours, but there are also ones with more a "frosty" part than a band: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billbouton/2227993526/ Please, verify!
