Same general shape as Dichromodes, maybe Dichromodes atrosignata?
Feather antennae so not Taxeotis
Syneora unlikely
Amelora

Dichromodes mesogonia has a discal spot with pale centre. see MOV 4-23-21 and CD

D. mesogonia does seem likely, although I see no mention of the distinctive black head for either D. mesogonia or D. atrosignata.

Bipictinate antennae separate Nearcha from Dichromodes (and Taxeotis and Epidesmia)

Yes and N. aridaria does have the distinctive black palps and at the the front and side of the head.
