I didn't think this was Proteuxoa genus because of the faint 'eye spots'' in either wing reminiscent of Agrotis. Also the clean angular appearance in the lateral view.

Yes, I missed the spots, didn't even notice photo 2. Got Proteuxoa fever. I think it's Dasygaster.

Very worn, but a close look reveals that faint elements of D. padockina are visible.
