I suppose, it's Mazaeras sp. Probably Mazaeras soteria.

Hello José,

it a member og genus Mazaeras, but not Mazaeras soteria (with almost white hindwings, only on the margin reddish), I suppose (regarding where it comes from and the fully red hindwings) it´s Mazaeras francki. M. francki occurs in Brazil, Paraguay and the North-Eastern part of Argentina.

Hello Toni and Thomas

Thank you very much for your help, maybe it seems more Mazaera francki, since the hind wings are very red, although it has no drawing on the previous wings.
Mazaera soteria are very white the rear wings, but by the previous wings it looks something else.
I lean towards Mazaera francki, although with a little doubt.

Best regards
Jose
