JD : I believe this should be Electrophaes recta Yazaki, 1994
OD - MON pt 3 pg 15 & Pl 69/1
The OD mentions the differences with zaphenges - ground colour of FW more brownish, distal margin of submedian band strongly produced outward below cell, median band relatively broad. MON has 5 similar looking spp. on this plate. Comparison of zaphenges with other spp. is mentioned on pg 30-31.
In the images, I can also see that recta is the only spp. here where the distal margin of the basal band & the proximal margin of the median band are more or less parallel to each other.
