Do you still have the specimen?
I need to see the "trailing" edge of the forewing and determine if the is an "aerola postica" there (formed by vein Cu1a). That would make it a Lachesilla. I can't se that part of the forewing, however. When I get a chance, I'll get out my specimens of L. nubilis and L. tectorum and see if I can decide from that. Your ventral shot will be useful there.

No, I do not.
I went to point it and it was gone, light as nothing, whiffed away. I did put on my head lamp and crawl around on the floor (which yielded all sorts of things but not this critter). That's why I didn't even get a lateral photo. I'm sorry.

Boy, have I been there!
This one is not Lachesilla nubilis. Under the circumstances, I'd frass.
