Paectes acutangula/fuscescens
These photos to me match very well with P. acutangula on MPG pinned material, with the apical whitish area, etc. Whereas, MPG's depictions of P fuscescens have no white area, and have a strong black apical dot, which is lacking in these photos. So I am not sure why the photos were moved from actangula to fuscescens.
