Don, I do not think so, with two synonyms and at least two redescriptions the general consensus (though not all descriptions agree) is that insularis should have white tipped antennae, a black tip to the abdomen and orange tegulae. I do not know of an Amata with as much orange on the thorax as this specimen.
