The undescribed Epicyrtica species always has the white mark along the outer part of the costa, and the two circular marks are different to this photo. I compared it with all Calathusa, and it is closest to C. hypotherma, but not close enough. Calathusa genus seems a reasonable place to put it, although it may turn out to be different.

Of 5 Discophlebia (genus) species on iNaturalist, D. caleana seems to me to match the best.
