3745 - Platynota rostrana?
I'm not seeing anything on MPG or BOLD under flavedana that looks like this, but it does look similar to one of Maury's from Texas. See comments here. Maury has left it as unidentified on BG and Bob has left it unidentified at MPG here. Might be best to do the same for this one.

probably yes
Not sure if it's worn, or if it's just a natural variation in coloring, but yes, black-shaded
