Uiuiui, I IDed this one myself as Eulepidoptis punctilinea from Costa Rica. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45930043@N03/8233437578/ As I remember Punctilinea is mosty Central America, I did not found any reference from South America. Viridissima is found in South America. Did Jorge mentioned any resource/report? Personally I have difficulties to separate the two just by picture.

I would say yes, Eulepidotis viridissima.
