Looks to me like Dichromodes (genus) but a partial search has found no match. No Dichromodes (genus) specimens i/ve seen yet seem to have such staright divergent lines across the forewing. However it is a hugely variable and diverse genus which has many undescibed species.

Looking at the ALA a very worn M. alterna does look just possible, but I have difficulty reconciling the second straight whitish line line across the forewing closest to the outer margin.
