Hrd to be sure, but the general appearance (cleft forewings with two prominent white markings) is generally consistent with S. anisodactylus.

This one's not Sphenarches anisodactylus. The shape of the forewing lobes is wroing. Detail is insufficient to be 100% certain but I think it's Stangeia xerodes. The only alternative possibility is Megalorhipida leucodactylus.

Yes I agree, the forewings appear to be too deeply cleft to be S. anisodactylus.
