I'm thinking that it has the jizz of the variable nauplialis, eg see 4373478. That doesn't have the light shoulder, but others do. But I may be being distracted by the brown photo colour., and I remember disagreeing with a previous identification of M. habiltalis. I'll look some more.

I was off course with Mimaglossa nauplialis. Checking this revealed there is an undescribed Araeopaschia species mixed in with the M. nauplialis. I'll resort them.
