French Guiana Moth ID needed

[bixia22]

I got this moth back in 2014, and have not been able to identify it. Can some one help. It was caught near Sinnamary, a few miles off the coast.

I am not too good at doing moth IDs

Difficult to determine - seems to have some similarities with Calodesma tamara. www7.inra.fr/papillon/arct_guy/boite_12/texte/c_tamara.htm
Calodesma sp?

A very frustrating moth to see because I took a picture of what seems to be the same species in some assorted unidentified museum leps for Halloween, and I remember putting names on ALL of these guys.  The bigger orange species online are mostly African. I cannot find any orange moth with the big black spots on the wings on BOLD or Seitz plates although I KNOW I identified this a couple months ago. It's driving me crazy now.

Wow, interesting species!
I have been collecting for years in Central Africa and Brazil. Especially about Noctuidae and Geometridae from these regions, there are only few really useful (incomplete) publications. I can understand your frustration well.
Databases on the internet are also very incomplete.
Occasionally, however, I also find some interesting files of old publications on the internet.
For example:
archive.org/stream/catalogueoflepid13brit#page/n241/mode/2up
biolib.mpipz.mpg.de/felder/novara_tafeln/felder_reise_der_novara_tafeln.pdf
If you can find out the name of the species with the black spots, please write. Where was the specimen collected?

The one I collected was on the sinnamary river, 2 to 3 miles from the coast. In November or December of 2014.

I found it!

Stenele

both of ours look like Stenele obsoleta or translata, in the Ennomiine geometers.  Mine was the former but yours has bigger apex spotting like the latter.
