B. exarcha looks quite lakely although it seems to be highly variable. Perhaps Barea asbolaea also?

I agree. They, and B. bathrochorda, all have the similar central line of black and white marks. I think the forewing submarginal black band of this specimen looks more like B. exarcha than the others.
