This one is done, surprisedly and happily.

08.02.2011 20:21, Peter Khramov

Moved to "identified successfully".

08.02.2011 17:48, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Two genera added.

08.02.2011 17:24, Evgeny Komarov

Vasily! Set Aethria, and the second one as a synonym, one may search by both! Will correct, if needed!

08.02.2011 17:11, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Genus is questionable, sure. What genus should it belong to?

08.02.2011 17:09, Evgeny Komarov This species is identified correctly.

08.02.2011 13:23, Alexandr Zhakov

Species is ok, genera are questionable, don't know this "kilometre zero" as for tropics. Author is the same. We should choose a taxonomic system as default one.

This is also should be cleared: http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/noctuoidea/arctiidae/ctenuchinae/clystea/index.html#leucaspis. Opinions needed.

Dear moderators, please, add and approve this species and new other "Guyana" identified lately...

08.02.2011 1:07, Alexandr Zhakov

Beast done. :)

Can be, can be, looks like Aethria leucaspis flava: http://www.guianensis.fr/photos_arctiidae_ctenuchini_1.htm.

Whoa! Agreed!

08.02.2011 1:01, Dmitriy Pozhogin

Rather Aethria leucaspis (Cramer, 1775). At least, genus is sure.

08.02.2011 0:53, Alexandr Zhakov

No, so close, but it's not, look at the venation. My suggestion is Aethria leucaspis (Cramer, 1775): http://www.cahurel-entomologie.com/texte_ctenuchinae/ctenuchinae_page4.htm.

If I only knew where to find these books...

08.02.2011 0:48, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Nearly lost my vision, even in glasses, that sucks...

Who wants and is not lazy, can look through: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33398884@N03/4338530161/in/set-72157623249991359/.

Think, this one is Arctiidae, Phoenicoprocta vacillans, Walker, 1856, or something close to (tough case): http://www.guianensis.fr/photos_arctiidae_euchromiini_2.htm.
