Schinia alencis - Hodges #11198
Moved from
Moths
.
My first thought was this might be
Schinia chryselloides
- Hodges # 11199.1 with the dark scales near the apex of the forewing, but this appears to be a very pale
Schinia alencis
- Hodges #11198.
I will do some reading to make sure.

reniform spot is never separate in chryselloides
reniform spot is never separate in
S. chryselloides
or
S. chrysellus
so this is
Schinia alencis
- Hodges #11198.
The wider median band is also a key.
Thanks
