I have been shown a museum sample labelled Eulepidotis ouocco that seems to me to fit. Also now a live photo.

Great find. That looks perfect. Thank you very much.

Thanks Danielle. I really have no idea how I missed this comment earlier. I will look up the link. It is bad that you spot the duplication and I do not.

I believe it's indentical to the one referenced in my suggestion. Genus Eulepidotis but species not identified. Close to, but different from Eulepidotis perlata. http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Andes%20-%20Eulepidotis%20perlata.htm
