Yes, its Larentiinae (family), I agree, but I think its different to CNM Sighting 4368447 because it lacks the large kink in the main forewing line that both Epyaxa. sodaliata and E. subidaria and that specimen have. To my eye it seems similar to E. centoneura (see the ALA), and iNaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=1136486 for photos from life of that species.

I think the dark central band is too narrow for Epyaxa. More like some Dichromodes species, like Dichromodes sp. ANIC15 on BOLD
