I would add the cf. between the names, since it needs confirmation!

Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini, Gnamptonycha sp.. Gnamptonycha ventralis is in US quite a common species, but most probably not found in Mexico. Gnamptonycha flavicollis is found in Mexico. Yours has more a reddish color than yellow. I would tend to G. flavicollis Some pictures of G. ventralis: http://bugguide.net/node/view/678911/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/714660/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/664582 http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Gnamptonychia-ventralis
