Nice catch! Yes, I think that you are correct and there is only one species in the genus.
Nacoleia charesalis: ♀ ♂ (Florida range)

Thanks Bob, I will never forget the discussion on the first one. Looked at this but did not feel confident enough to place until I saw your comment. Interesting how many sightings there have been now that the species has "come to light".
