SS: This could be Ganisa postica Walker 1855 or Ganisa plana Walker, 1855
Going by the OD, from Walker, 1855: This species (G. plana) much resembles G. postica, but may be distinguished by the straight band of the fore wings by the band of the hind wings, which in G. postica is further from the exterior border, and not accompanied by brown dots, and by the form of the hind wings, which in G. plana are more oblique and less convex along the fore part of the exterior border. Given this, I would be ok to go with a provisional ID as Ganisa postica Walker 1855. Effectively, the individual with spots on the are plana, while those lacking spots maybe postica.
