this [057] was collected from Saut maripas on the 25th November 2007. I have attempted Lemonias zygia Hubner.

the second specimen [058] was collected along the forest walk to the Bagnes de Ammanites on the 6th of the same month and year. Is it Mesosema lacernata?

Thanks to all.

M. lacernata ? Difficult to be sure. Looks like M. nyctea nyctea (Hoffmannsegg, 1818)

See : butterfliesofamerica.com/L/ih/mesosemia0111_i.htm

By the way, Bagne des Annamites and not "Bagne des Ammanites" !!!
