Ciao Claudio, grazie mille e saluti!

It is Cissura decora. See key at the top of the page and fig 55: https://archive.org/stream/catalogueoflepid03brituoft#page/71/mode/1up "C. decora" is misidentified in Druce (Biologia Centrali-Americana) and in BOLD. Correctly identified as plumbea by Laguerre: http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Public_RecordView?processid=ARCTC166-09
Jacob Gorneau
Yes. C. decora is correct. According to the records on BOLDsystems, C. plumbea is only found in Central America.

maybe Cissura sp. http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Andes%20-%20Cissura%20unilineata.htm

I would also say Erebiade, Arctiinae and Lithosiini.
