Forsterinaria stella

Common 1050-1500 m. Attracted to bait.

Similar species: Most similar to F. proxima; the difference is in the placement of the post-discal line VHW: it passes through the end of the cell in stella, while in proxima it is clearly more distal (towards the wing margin). F. stella is perhaps found more at higher elevations, but with extensive overlap.
