Ouups... I am not able to guess what it is ! General shape and habitus is a bit like Chaetopsis (Ulidiidae) but...... Seen once on a lighted wall in Kourou, French Guiana (neotropical). Bernard Perthuis attached the following image:  [125.71Kb] Edited by Bernard Perthuis on 25-02-2025 21:39 |

Probably Ulidiidae. Some tropical Platystomatidae also look like this, e.g. Senopterina. |

It looks to be a species from Ulidiidae Lipsanini Chaetopsis-Amethysa group of genera rather than Senopterina. However, neither Elena nor I cannot tell anything more, as neither wing venation nor pattern can be recognized. Sorry.
