Glenn, I'm not sure why you are suggesting M. nauplialis.

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.
