Phosphila
Another from Wagner's new book (1) Phosphila turbulenta, the Turbulent Phosphila, page 427, which he even states as feeding on greenbrier.

reminds us
of Troy's but we still haven't found out what it is. How could something so beautiful be so hard to track down? Any idea what plant it was on?

 
I have more photos of these
I found a few more last year. In both cases they were on the same plant, which I can picture in my head but don't know the name of (some sort of vine, like a greenbrier). I have some more notes at home. I'm certain we'll name these eventually.

 
Sorry
no idea what the plant was...I think it was tree. :)
