Bayucca, Hemeroblemma leontia looks like the right one. The white stripe on H. mexicana is too bold. Thanks for the ID!

Noctuidae, Catocalinae, Hemeroblemma sp. and most probably Hemeroblemma leontia. Quite variable. Other candidate might be Hemeroblemma mexicana, but this one would have a smaller white aera on the hindwing and another white stripe on the forewing, but yours has only this quite large white patch and a some kind reddish stripe on the forewing. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NdlAZXuYj1A/T8fbOoWGBjI/AAAAAAAAAv8/wlyeZplZBqA/s1600/u-costarica_mothut.jpg http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Hemeroblemma%20mexicana Please, verify!
