OK, both genders have simple antennae. So, we can't say what that is, without any evidence of mating, egg-laying or dissection.

The angle of the AM line, near the inner margin doesn't fit most of the species in Eusarca. The wing texture, shapes, lines and location suggest that this might be Pionenta ochreata. (AZ)
At this time, BOLD still has this species bin listed under the old genus name, Antepione. See here: Antepione ochreata
This other image seems to be very closely related: ...currently placed in the genus Besma.

Pionenta ochreata
I agree after looking at the Ferris 2010 revision of the genus Antepione and description of the new genus Pionenta (ZooKeys 71: 49-70 (14 Dec 2010).
Thanks for your efforts.
