Another possibility, apart from species in the genus Amata (Arctiidae, Syntominae) would be species in the genus Lophosoma (Zygaenidae, Procridinae), which are M?llerian mimics of Amata. They have slightly fatter looking antennae and retain scales on the translucent wing patches (as in the example photographed).
