Thanks bayucca. I always crosscheck your suggestions but if the differences were small I trust in your judgement.

Erebidae, Erebinae, Thermesiini, Letis buteo. I hate this name! Did you ever googled Letis? You get millions of pictures of, guess what: lettuce. Even worser then green beetle of brazil... ;-)) http://www.flickr.com/photos/dejeuxx/5358129636/in/set-72157625408112268 http://www.pbase.com/image/86447467 Two examples of wrong IDs by me at the beginning, at least I was wise enough to notice the mistakes, never too late to learn. I hope you still do crosscheck my suggestions!
