Thanks for the ID and info Jacob. Without a specimen, genus is probably as far as these moths from the tropics can be identified.

Terrific find! This is closely related to Prochoerodes lineola, which I'm sure you have seen frequently at your light in Massachusetts. With the great variability within P. lineola and the greater amount of species in that genus in the tropics, I am unsure if a species can be determined.
