Geometridae, Ennominae, Ourapterygini, Ourapteryx sp. and most probably Ourapteryx claretta. Far away from being an Uraniidae!! Dan, this lovely moth fooled us completely!

I am also not sure if this really is Urapteroides astheniata, which would not have red lines. The markings are slightly different. But I still would think it is an Uraniidae, Uraniinae or if not a very nasty mimic (for ID)?? Might it be one of the others mentioned by MOB? Or another genus? Look at the different tail of yours beside the red color.
