Not a big deal, an undeterminable male of a species belonging to an undescribed genus, near "Adapsilis" hirsuta/ Altogether, 3 species are recognized in collections, all differing by secondary sexual characters entirely absent in males, so they cannot be "married". In addition, only 4 males are known for this group vs 35 females, due to different behavior and captivity at light for females and males.
