bayucca
Geometridae, Larentiinae, Trocherateina sp. and looks like Trocherateina cf. specularia. Unfortunately I have no electronic reference for this one, too rare species! Here is another similar one, but in my eyes not the same: http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Trocherateina%20cacharaDHJ02 http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=73858
