Thank you,Bayucca. I relied on the information of site EOL http://eol.org/pages/156843/overview

I think Irina was not completely wrong, sometimes there are different names. I usually follow BOA as reference library and Lamas has it also as Altinote ozomene nox, formerly Acraea leucomelas.

Thanks for the correction Bayucca and for taking the time to check even though it appears as already identified.
