Excuse me for responding to you so late.

You were right, it is an Apatia.
BRAVO !!

Determination :
- Basal 1/3 of vein SR of Hindwing entirely pigmented, not sclerotized and 1A+2A right

truncator was also captured in Italy

In van Achtenberg 1993, can't find where Apatia is ruled out with the character "Basal 1/3 of vein SR of hindwing mainly pigmented, not sclerotized". It seems you have to look at the tarsal claws.
