Hi Diana,
I think this is Macaria bicolorata, and not bisignata. Unfortunately, the
best mark to tell that species is the color on the underside of the wings,
which is bright orange in this species (white and orange in bisignata). The
ground color is a purplish gray in bicolorata (off white in bisignata) and
that matches what your photo shows. One must also rule out transitaria, but
your specimen doesn't show enough brown in the FW to indicate that species.
