Agrotera spp.
Notes (optional)
JD : I don't think this is basinotata but should be effertalis. The FW orange speckling on basal patch is more distinct, the reniform is larger with orange & the sub-medial line has a double loop anteriorly.
SS: Have this down as Agrotera discinotata Swinhoe, 1894. Will upload images. HW needed to confirm identity.
