I agree
I agree with the ID. The hind wing markings seem quite distinctive for Parargyractis jaliscalis as well as the post median forewing markings. I'll move this to species page, however, it looks like we've been going with the Petrophila synonym for the genus here on BG rather than Parargyractis. It seems both are still being equally used amongst various sources, so I'll go with the flow of the guide unless there is a BG consensus to change it.
