Ecuadorian moths

[Jason R. Grant]

A student of mine is working on a pollination biology project of
Macrocarpaea sodiroana (Gentianaceae) near Quito, Ecuador.  This is a 1-3 m
tall shrub with night-blooming 3-4 cm long white campanulate flowers.  He
has collected and photographed at least a dozen species of moths that  visit
this species during the night.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how we could identify these species?
(I'm assuming there are no field guides to the nocturnal moths of Ecuador)

Are there any specialists of Neotropical moths we could work with?

Thanks, Jason
