I don't think this fits P. atra. Photos of P.atra in MoV Part 9, page 16 and on the supporting disc show a plain dark female, but the renifom mark in those P. atra photos show it has both a very dark and a white component immmediately adjacent. This moth lacks the white component immediateky adjaceny shown in all the MoV photos of P. atra both in male and female examples.

How about Thoracolopha spilocrossa, see Bold Systems

This moth shows the plain dark scale patch (i,e. not a 'reniform mark') which the MoV authors say is characteristic of the Thoracolopha genus in comparison to Proteuxoa - see the three pages 1-3 entitled 'Proteuxoa and Thoracolopha' explaining the differences. I think the size and shape of the dark wing patch looks most like the unmamed species group; 'Thoracolopha sp.(6)' which the MoV authors recognize, however the size and shape of the dark patch is not quite the same as their photos from life on page 2/2 for that species. This specimen also has a single white mark at the base of the forewing on the RHS which is also apparent in at least one of the photos of Thoracolopha sp.(6) on page 2/2.

Perhaps, T. spilocrossa, but the forewings are very plain and dark black in this specimen without other markings as in the T. spilocrooa images I can see on Bold Systems.Your specimen looks very fresh.
