I think it can be a Nemestrinidae, but I don't be sure!!!
its mouthparts is stunted, someone will know the family it belongs?

Hi Jose M,

Yes, I think this is a nemestrinid, Atriadops macula (Wied.) -- the only known member of this genus in the new world (Woodley, 2010: MCAD 1, pg. 559). Other Atriadops are found in the old world.

Would you please provide a back-lit photo of a wing, to better show the venation? Thanks,

Eric
