The Dichromodes (genus) is diverse with several similar looking species, sometimes with distinctly different looking male and females of the same species. I think this is most likely D. molybdaria, with this being an example of the female of the species (filamentous anetennae). The male is much plainer with branched antennae are much longer on one side of the midrib.
