A similar looking moth has been identified as Proteuxoa sarcomorpha on iNaturalist, see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=1090769.
MoV say P. metaneura and P. sarcomorpha are very similar showing set specimens only for each species. They say P. sarcomorpha has darker forewings with transverse markings which would seem to fit the P. provisiosal species 4 specimens here. However they ay the P. sarcomorpha hindwing is darker, not lighter, which does not apparently fit this specimen.
