I think a very worn, P. ewingi, see the chracteristic two árrowhead' marks on either forewing outer margin. There are similar examples posted on the ALA page for this species.

I think 4351331 and 4351335 are worn Agrotis munda. This is based more on the antennae - Agrotis males have more distinctly bipectinate antennae than Persectiana - than on the wing pattern.

The two sigtings in question are 4351331 and 4351325. I thpught the 'double arrow' markings at the mid hindwing margin in both cses were suggestive of Persectania, but perhaps not. I would be happy with an Agrotis sp., but we don't have that category!
