4260562 is M. villosata, but I think the other two records that we have under that species are M. squamulata, of which CNM has other records. This looks like another M. squamulata.

Yes, on revision, I agree you are correct.

The shape of the pale submedial forewing line of M. squamulata near the costa seems more stepped towards the base than that of M. villosata, so I agree that this is M. squamulata.
