Difficult to be sure, Merophyas therina and M. therina are apparently quite variable and range from quite light to darker more extensive markings.

Thanks for the consideration. Its quite a bit darker than most M. divulsana images, but I thought the pattern was a close match, particularly the two prominent dark marks near the top
