Looks like Sphyracephala subbifasciata because of the reduced spot on wing tips, but not confident so will stop at genus for now.
Pseudocellus dorotheae
I found this individual while working at the McAllen Nature Center 2.5 years ago. Never uploaded it since we were trying to get a paper published. I got tired of trying to get that done so here it is. This species hasn’t been seen since it was first discovered in 1939 in Edinburg, TX. ID by Dr. Oscar Francke and Joel Hallan.
Found in a pitfall trap on the forest floor.
