Not a cat expert.
Great picture. Euchaetes for sure. See . In Camp Wood I raised some from the eggs of a female I thought was E. bolteri hoping to raise a black one (that failed, only females). The white hairs along the side did not extend the entire length of the body (only fore and aft). I found some of E. egle that had white the entire length of the body but the dorsal hair looked more yellow to me than yours.

I hope you hear from an expert.
