Or shaped more like Capusa? Some Capusa graodes specimens are quite plain, but I haven't seen a specimen as plain as this presents.

Three faint scallops are visible of a first line near the tornus of the forewing close to the margin.
I do not know any Chlenias or Capusa species with that pattern.

Glenn, I've gone back to the originals and adjusted the shadows, contrasts etc to try to bring out some detail. Reloaded all images.

Thanks Alison, that helps. I'm back to thinking Chlenias banksiaria. Some specimens have a faint row of spots just inside the termen, and I think I can see the dark patch inside the tornus that is present on most specimens. May is in the right time of year.
