I think the head shape does not fit Paralaea (genus).
Looks very similar to T. ptochodes. See here:

There seems to be black dot on each wing that is missing in the Tachystola??

Several Tachystola species have a dark submarginal band which could have been eroded in this worn specimen to a residual spot in the middle of that band.
