This is subfamily Acronictinae of the Noctuidae, in the vicinity of Epicyrtica

I think the pale basal mark in the cell is too distorted to be Epicyrtica.
It looks to me more like a Neumictis species.

It's not Agroitis, Epicyrtica or Neumichtis. Based on the shape of the reniform mark, I don't think it's Ectopatria, but I haven't exhaustively checked. I believe it's Hypoperigea tonsa, but it would be worthwhile someone also rechecking Condica aroana and Unplaced (Xanthoptera) macrosema

The 3 certainly have very similar costa markings, ALA pictures look very similar to Hypoperigea tonsa. What swayed you Don?
