Correction: (Sorry)
It is not Eucereon sp.
it belongs to the genus Lophocampa

Thanks for the Psychophasma erosa is right on I have been scouring the internet, I think the top one might be a Phaegoptera sp rather than a Lopocampa?

Ok, I took another closer look at the picture.
(unfortunately it is a bit blurred)
You are probably right.
If there are 4 black dots on the thorax, then I would guess it is Phaegoptera decrepidoides.
This would also match with the size and the locality (Peru).
