Yes - Gnamptopelta obsidianator (female)…
This is the austrina form of the species described by Heinrich which only occurs in Florida, mostly in the peninsular counties. Although it is conspicuous and common in Florida, the host is not known; Heinrich suspected it was a hawk moth that feeds on wild grape.

See reference here.
