Terrific! Palthis asopialis is characterized by the dark patch on the outside forewing.
I'm about to upload one of these guys too... Also not sure what it is but closest I can tell is Palthis sp. http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/gallery?page=9&stage=adult&species_view=dorsal&species_type=1&family=All&field_sciname_value=&field_comname_value=
I got this little guy in my "home-made" light box today. So a few new pics are now up.
Intriguing... I'll have to follow this one just for the fun of finding what it is. Thanks for sharing.
